Dorothy H. Haskenhoff
Dorothy H. Haskenhoff, 102 years old of East Carondelet, IL, passed away on September 20, 2019 in Belleville, IL. She was born March 10, 1917, in East St. Louis, IL., the daughter of John and Rose nee Bargel Sharp. Dorothy married Richard Haskenhoff and they shared 54 years of wedded bliss.
Dorothy attended Hough Grade School and Dupo High School. She was a member of the Cahokia Democratic Club, Cahokia Senior Citizens, and spent many years attending First Congregational Church of Dupo. She enjoyed crocheting, reading, cooking and gardening. Her family especially recalls her delicious recipes of German potato salad, banana bread, mushroom casserole, chicken and dumplings, cream egg on toast and THE BEST homemade apple pie. Her grandchildren describe their nanny as remarkable, selfless, strong, independent, and loving all wrapped up with a little sass and dry humor. She had the ability to leave a piece of herself with you and the memories she left will last a lifetime.

"The family wants to thank her caregivers, great-granddaughter, Shannon and Marquise for the wonderful care and love they gave her. She loved you girls very much. No one could have taken any better care of her. We all love you. Thanks so much~ Love, Grandma."
Her family will hold private graveside services. Interment will be in the Lake View Memorial Gardens, Fairview Heights, Illinois.
