Hermine Dorazil

Hermine Ann Dorazil, 80, passed peacefully on April 1, 2023. Ann was born September 1, 1942, to Vincent and Stella Costanza in Chicago, IL. She was very proud of her Italian heritage. Ann spent her childhood years working in her father’s grocery store in Elkhorn, WI, and being doted upon by her grandparents. She spent summers at her grandparents’ lake home at Lake Wandawega. She attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison in the English Honors program but had to leave after two years due to her mother’s passing.

In 1966, Ann married Robert “Bob” Dorazil, whom she had known her whole life. The marriage ceremony occurred in Sembach, Germany, where Bob was stationed with the Air Force. She spoke fondly of their time in Europe and loved to travel back there any chance she got.

Ann was the original boy mom, raising her three sons in a no-nonsense manner. She cooked and took care of her boys and their numerous friends, many of who considered Ann a second mother. She loved cooking, and everyone agreed that her food was incomparable.

Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, her parents, and her grandparents. She is survived by her cousin, JoAnn Perry, and her sons Robert Dorazil, of Highland Park, Bryan Dorazil and wife, Octavia, of Waxahachie, and Brett Dorazil and wife, Lisa, of Midlothian. Ann was blessed with seven grandchildren, Hailey Popovic, Megan, Nick, Gia, Roman, Brelan, and Knox Dorazil.

Visitation and Rosary are at the Wayne Boze Funeral Home, in Waxahachie, TX, on Wednesday, April 12th, from 5 P.M. to 7 P.M. A funeral mass will be held at St. Joesph Catholic Church at 10 A.M. on Thursday, April 13th. She will be laid to rest with her husband at the Dallas/Ft. Worth National Veteran’s Cemetery at 2:30 P.M.
