Delores "Dee" Bizer

Delores (“Dee”) Bizer, age 86, of Mundelein, Illinois, passed away peacefully Saturday, December 7, 2024 at her home in Blaine, Washington. She was born February 21, 1938 in Waukegan, Ill, and made Washington her new home in 2018. She loved her life in the Pacific Northwest with her cat, Star, and her hobbies, which included her knitting, feeding the birds, canning local fruits and vegetables, and her garden. 

Dee was married for 42 years to her grade school sweetheart, Richard, and they made a life for their family in Mundelein, Illinois, during which time she was first a stay-at-home mom, and later had a career as a Librarian in the local public school system. While raising her family, she and Richard often enjoyed taking family vacations snow skiing and hiking, and spending time at their summer cottage in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. She adored her grandchildren Kennedy and Stephen.

Dee will be remembered by all, especially her beloved knitting group, for her sense of humor and love of her favorite sports teams -- the Chicago Bears and Blackhawks.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard. Dee is survived by 2 children: Douglas (Suzanne) and Denise; two grandchildren Kennedy and Stephen; her brother Michael; and her niece Dina (Kevin) and her grandnieces and grandnephews. 

A private Celebration of Life will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dee’s memory to the Whatcom Humane Society, 2172 Division Street, Bellingham, WA 98226
