TRAVERSE CITY RECORD EAGLE - 19 Sep. 2005 
Dorothy Joan 'Jo' Bolton
Died September 17, 2005
      EMPIRE - Dorothy Joan "Jo" Bolton was called home early Saturday morning, 
Sept. 17, 2005, surrounded by her loving husband of 52 years, family members, 
and the parish priest, Farther Garth Hilmer. She was 76.
      Visitation will take place this evening, Monday, Sept. 19, from 6 to 8 
p.m., with a 7:30 Rosary at St. Philip Neri Church in Empire, where she was a 
lifelong member. Funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20. Burial 
will be in St. Philip Neri Cemetery. A luncheon will follow.
      Jo was born May 8, 1929, the eldest child of Peter and Marion (Edwards) 
Manning, and raised on the Manning farm south of Empire. On Aug. 1, 1953, after 
graduation from Michigan State College, she married William B. Bolton, who 
survives.
      After teaching school for a few years, including South Haven, the Empire 
School and Glen Lake, Jo then spent the next half-century selflessly giving to 
her family, church, friends and community. Some manifestations of this service 
were her years growing and arranging flowers for the weekly masses at St. 
Philip's; being one of the founding members of the Empire Area Heritage Group; 
and quilting for over 20 years with the group whose creations raised money for 
the Empire Volunteer Fire Department and the Empire Area Heritage Group. With 
all of this, she saved the finest of her creations of food, clothing and love 
for her family, especially her grandchildren.
      As well as her husband, Bill, she is survived by all seven of her 
children and 18 grandchildren, Mike and Ruthy (Pleva) Bolton (Michaelina, 
Zachary and Ann), Mary Jo (Bolton) and David Hughes (William, Patrick and 
Kate), Elizabeth (Bolton) Klein, Patricia (Bolton) and Kim Marek (Keith, 
Christopher and Megan), Wyman and Maureen (Talbot) Bolton (Jack, Joseph and 
William), Joseph and Tara (Daugherty) Bolton (Kayla, Philip, Alexander and 
Brenna), and Peter and Mary (Cwengros) Bolton (Anthony and Matthew); siblings, 
David (Ruth) Manning, Marjorie (Robert) Frazine, Peter (Marilyn) Manning; and 
many nieces and nephews.
      Memorials may be directed to the Empire Area Heritage Museum, or the 
Empire Volunteer Fire Department.
      The family is being served by Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home, Traverse 
City.
