Sun Prairie - Delores Ann Kueber, 85, died on Thursday December 2, 2021 at home in Sun Prairie after a lengthy illness.

She was the oldest daughter of Erwin and Nina. Born on April 27, 1936, in Burlington, Wisconsin, Delores grew up in Slades Corners, Wisconsin. Faith played a significant role in Delores’ life. She was baptized, confirmed, and married in St. John’s Lutheran Church in Slades Corners. She attended church and became involved in congregations in every community she moved to and was a long-time member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Sun Prairie.

Delores married 1st Lt. Nickolaus Kueber on June 29, 1957. They welcomed three children to their family: Steven, Susan, and Scott. Throughout her life, Delores cherished spending time with family and friends. She loved being a mother, always wanting the best for her children. She and Nick were actively involved in their children’s sports activities and Band Boosters. Delores was also a wonderful Grandmother, making every visit, every holiday, and every occasion special. She especially enjoyed watching and cheering on her grandchildren in sports, music, and other school events. She entertained and welcomed many military families and friends to her home during her lifetime.

Delores also enjoyed traveling and being a military spouse provided numerous adventures and opportunities throughout the United States and Europe. She enjoyed taking thousands of pictures to document every occasion, contributing to countless wonderful memories. She was an enthusiastic shopper, collector, brass rubber (an activity she learned and perfected in England) and was a generous and caring friend. After her children were older, she managed several small businesses all related to achieving good health. She adored the Wisconsin Badgers, loved attending Badger games and UW band concerts, and proudly wore Badger red!
