...Notes for: Mary Kprzinski by Diana Lynn (Dorsey) Henry - 1991
(771-5467 Robert Dorsey=husband)
The American version of this name is KAPPE although family sources have
pronounced it Kapczinski. She was supposedly born in Prussia. This
imformation was given to me by L.V. Gregg a great-grandson of August Raif.
Telephone number - 442-2216, 15315 Morales, Houston, Texas 77032. He
obtained this from Catholic cemetery records.
According to Veronica Dorsey, her grandmother died from a miscarriage
suffered after she loaded and unloaded a wagon of logs after it got stuck
in the mud. She was told this by her aunt Victoria or by her mother,
Mary is buried in the front right section of St. Vincent's cemetery. There
was a marker on the grave at one time, but it is no longer there.

VERONICA KMIEC DORSEY, 91, our beloved mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother, known to everyone as MeMe, went to be with the
Lord on Wednesday, July 2, 1997. She was born July 18, 1905 in Ft.
Worth, Texas and lived in Houston most of her life. Preceded in
death by parents Mary Raif and Joseph Francis Kmiec, husband Joseph
C. Dorsey in 1947, grandson Richard Brian Prendki, son-in-law Joseph
C. Prendki, brothers Joseph Peter, Sam, and Leon Kmiec, and sister
Mary Kmiec Percy. She is survived by her children Jeannette Dorsey
Prendki and Loretta Dorsey Birdwell of Houston, Eleanor Dorsey
Pitzer and her husband Knox of San Marcos, sons Joseph C. Dorsey,
and Robert G. Dorsey and his wife Diana of Houston, and her
grandchildren Sheryl Harper, Susan Prendki, LeeAnn Bottoms, Joy
Sylvester, Joseph Prendki, Jr., Knox Pitzer, Jr., Kendra Pitzer,
Heather Dorsey, Nicole Dorsey, and John Dorsey. 12
great-grandchildren, 2 nephews and numerous cousins. MeMe was a
member of The Catholic Community of Saint Cecilia. She worked as a
Service Assistant at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. She
retired in June 1968 afer 39 and one half years of service. She was
a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America. During her life she
gave birth to her 5 children, saw the birth of her 11 grandchildren
and 12 great-grandchildren. She lovingly baby-sat her grandchildren
during their summer vacations where she entertained them with games
of cards and Yahtzee. As preschoolers she taught them to count,
learn the days, months, seasons and how to write their names. She
also loved to pay Bingo and was an avid traveler. On her numerous
trips to Las Vegas and Kinder, LA. she could be found playing the
"nickel slots" until the wee hours of the morning. Her sense of
humor was robust and MeMe never knew a stranger. Perhaps that's why
she was loved so much and will be missed by all. A graveside
service will be held Saturday, July 5, 1997, at Holy Cross Cemetery,
3502 N. Main, Father Michael Berlowski officiating. In lieu of
flowers memorial contributions may be made to Houston Hospice, 8811
Gaylord, Suite 100, Houston, Texas, 77024, or to the charity of
choice. The family would like to especially thank Juanna Flores for
her loving care of MeMe during her illness.
