Karrie Dolezal

Karrie Lynn Andersen Dolezal, age 56, of Grant, Neb., passed to her eternal life on Nov. 2, 2022 at her home with family by her side. 

Karrie was born in Tacoma, Wash., on April 11, 1966. With her family, she moved to Montana where she was raised. She graduated from Broadwater High School in Townsend, Mont. 

Karrie was creative and incredibly talented. Music was a passion throughout her life. She started piano lessons as a little girl and had a beautiful voice which led to her touring Europe with her choir. She always loved baking and many would agree she was excellent at it.

Karrie was a loving and dedicated mother and wife. She and her husband John found happiness together and married on Dec. 10, 2010. They became a blended family with her own five children and John’s two sons. Karrie worked hard to make all who came to her home feel loved and welcome. 

She worked several jobs over the years but enjoyed working as Deputy Treasurer for Perkins County. She always spoke about her work family with so much love. Karrie was loved and cherished by her family and her community, and she will be greatly missed. 

Karrie is survived by her parents, Tom and Eileen Andersen; husband, John Dolezal; children, Christopher, Karlie (Michael), Jillianne (Mauricio), and Clint (Hallie); step-sons; Kevin and Jason (Amber); grandchildren, Jessamine, Jocelyn, Kai, Kenzleigh and Harper, Annabelle, and Emma. 

She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Collin Penrod.
