Dolores "Pete" Decker (nee Boomer)
October 17, 1926 - February 3, 2022
On Thursday, February 3, 2022, Dolores “Pete” Decker (nee Boomer) of Sarasota Florida went home to the Lord. Born October 17, 1926. Wife of Roger married 69 years. Mother to Fred and David. Pete learned how to fly while in college. Upon graduating from the University of Toronto, she worked at Cornell Personnel in Chicago and was eventually named vice president. In 1960 at 33, she left this position at the birth of her first son Fred and became a stay-at-home mom. Pete led a recycling drive in the 1970s as Tin Can Pete. Pete was the embodiment of the Proverbs 31 woman. An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. Memorial service Sunday, 2 PM, February 6 at Bay Village, 8400 Vamo Road, Sarasota Florida, 34231. Toale Brothers Funeral Home, 941-488-7737.
