Dolores O. Sorenson, age 92, of Eau Claire died on Saturday, January 29, 2011, at Dove Healthcare-West surrounded by her family.
Dolores was born on March 27, 1918, to the late August and Laura (Ausman) Bleske in Eau Claire. On February 8, 1934, she married Lloyd Sorenson. They continued the tradition of farming passed down from her parents. The farm is still family-owned and operated today. Dolores was a lifelong resident of the Town of Union.
