Dolores Gough

Mrs. Dolores Eve Gough, age 78 of Marion County, Florida, previously a Bridgehampton Township resident in the Carsonville area, passed away Wednesday,March 25, in her home after a short illness. Dolores Wisienski was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 24, 1930, to Frank and Katherine (Rumak) Wisienski. She married Trayton Junior Gough on December 20, 1950, in Deckerville. She was proud to be a farmer?s wife and a homemaker who enjoyed being outdoors in the fresh air. She loved working on the family farm and tending her flower and vegetable gardens. Many of the thousands of citrus trees on their grove in Florida, she grew root stock from seed, then grafted and budded the many different varieties to the root stock and finally, helped hand pick many of the thousands of boxes of fruit each year. She took great pride in these productive trees. And the fresh squeezed orange juice was pretty darn good also! She was gifted at getting plants and flowers to grow. She would look for unusual and unique plants, propagate them from seeds or cuttings and the flowers that followed were always superb! She also enjoyed the Western and the Sc-Fi Channels on TV. Surviving are her husband of 58 years, Trayton Junior (Jr.) and two sons, William (Christine) of Bay City and Trayton John (TJ) of Paisley, Fl., and a very special daughter-in-law Koko of Altoona, Fl. Five grandchildren, Wil (Stacey) Gough of Mayville, Cindy (Daniel) Vincent of Utah, Sandi Gough of Utah, Kristie Stone of Deckerville and Nikki LaRue (Jerry) of Summerville, TN. Great Grandchildren, Ryan, Trevor, Tyler, Austin, Alyssa, Kyle, Gabe, Lucas, and Lana. She is also survived by many sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews. Dolores was predeceased by her mother, Katherine, father, Frank, her brother, Edward Wisienski and grandson Jeremy Gough. The Gough family would like to express their thanks and appreciation to Cecil Hamill, formerly with the Sanilac County Bank, for his confidence in their abilities and his financial assistance by investing in Dolores & Trayton?s Michigan Dairy and later crop farming operation. They farmed in Bridgehampton Township for 27 years. This eventually provided them with the financial ability to invest in their Florida orange groves where they have enjoyed living and working for the last 23 years in the sunshine of Florida?s great outdoors. The family would like to extend their heart felt thanks to Koko for her love and care of Dolores in her final days. A celebration of life for Dolores E. Gough will be 11:00 AM Monday in the Apsey Funeral Home, your ?Legacy of Life? funeral home. Fr. Charles Hammon will officiate. Burial will be in Downing Cemetery. Visitation will be 4-9 PM., Sunday, and 10:00 AM., until the time of services on Monday. Condolences may be sent to apseyfuneralhome.com
