Doris Lassauer Stoliker of St. Augustine, Florida died on Sunday, August 17, 2014 in Brundidge, Alabama while on vacation.

Born May 2, 1919 in Hardin, Illinois to Gustav and Lenore Lassauer (née Williams). Doris had three siblings: Mary Elizabeth, Sheila and James all of whom predeceased her.

Doris was a traveler and visited many countries; she lived in several parts of the United States before settling during her later years in Sun City Center, Florida.

Most of her professional career was spent in Civil Service. She was an adventuress from an early age and as a young girl once walked across the top of a bridge in leather soled shoes on a dare. She traveled alone to Alaska, worked in Las Vegas, visited China in her 70’s, went white water rafting for her 80th birthday and in her 90’s rode in a chase vehicle from Calgary, Alberta to Hyder, Alaska following her son’s annual group Florida to Alaska motorcycle run.

Dancing was Doris’ passion. It was a weekly activity that she continued throughout her life. She was a skilled fisherman and would never live in a home unless it had a water view. Doris was a generous woman who belonged to many service organizations.

She is survived by her devoted son Dr. Michael Tuccelli of St. Augustine, Florida, three grandchildren, three great grandchildren, two stepsons, a step daughter, many step grandchildren, two nieces, a nephew, many caring friends and her beloved Peacock family in Alabama.
