Dolores M. Spargur, age 68 of Valparaiso, IN, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2020.

She was born on December 12, 1951, in Chicago, IL, to Lawrence Stadter and Antonette “Jo” Stadter (Tortorello), both of whom preceded her in death.

On July 27, 1975, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Chicago, IL, she married the love of her life, Robert Spargur, who preceded her in death.

She is survived by her loving son, Jeremy (Melissa) Spargur of Valparaiso, IN; her late husband’s children: Michael Spargur of Las Vegas, NV, and Michell (John) Berg of Hammond, IN; her late husband’s treasured granddaughter, Salina (Chris) Biancotti; her sister, Eileen (Steve) Eagar; and by her many beloved nieces and nephews.

She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Maureen Diericks and Sharon Brockway and by her late husband’s son, Robert (Charlene) Spargur, Jr. of Grayson, KY.

Dee was very active in the Wizard of Oz Festival in Chesterton and Valparaiso for several years. She enjoyed working with the “Munchkins” and all the festival entailed. She was a member of the Chesterton Chamber of Commerce and served on the Board. Dee was a crafter through and through and was known in the area as a craft shop owner for several years. She spent countless hours crafting and scrapbooking with friends and preparing for craft shows but more importantly, building relationships. Dee never met a stranger and was loved by many. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t do -- she had an inquisitive mind and could fix just about anything.

After the passing of her husband, Dee took the reins and kept their trucking business running successfully with the help of Salina Biancotti (Spargur) and Lisa Engelhardt.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no services will be held at this time; however, donations to Toys for Tots may be made in Dee’s memory at the Porter Fire Department, 550 W Beam Street, Porter, IN 46304, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on her birthday, December 12.

Professional arrangements are entrusted to the White-Love Funeral Home, Chesterton, IN.
