In Loving Memory

Staples, Dorothy Jane

Staples, Dorothy Jane

(nee Stolts), entered her eternal life, joining her devoted husband Tom there on November 20, 2015.

She lived her life with zest and exited it on her own terms, passing away peacefully at age 94 in her  independent living apartment at  Meramec Bluffs.

Loving mother to Mary Jane (Dean) Vazis and Thomas E. Staples; adoring grandmother of Colleen Jane (Jeff) Eldred. Beloved by the O’Neill family- Brian, Renee, Lucas, Dylan and Elise. Dear aunt, cousin and friend to many.

Dottie loved to have fun and did so with family and many friends through the years, in her numerous travels, and while volunteering for the Girl Scouts, the St. Louis Zoo and Tapes for the Blind. A special thanks from her family to helpers Karen and Barbara as well as the St. Luke’s Hospice team for helping to make her life vital to the end.

Services: Her life will be celebrated at a private service at the Meramec Bluffs Chapel followed by burial next to her husband at the Nelson, MO cemetery overlooking the farm where her husband Tom, to whom she was married for 67 years, was born and lived as a child. Donations to the St. Louis Zoo or Forest Park Forever, both loved by Dorothy,  appreciated. A service of Kutis Affton Chapel.
