Marilyn & John Docksey Memorial

This fund was originally established in memory of Marilyn, a long time Willmar resident and RN, by her husband Dr. John Docksey in 2007. When John passed away in 2009, the family renamed and fund to honor both parents. John received his medical degree from Marquette University in 1950, the same year the two were married. He completed his internship in medicine and surgery at the National Naval Medical Center in Philadelphia in 1951 and his residency in general surgery at the Veteran’s Hospital in Milwaukee in 1955. He joined the Willmar Clinic in 1956 and practiced medicine and surgery until retiring in 1989. This scholarship fund honors both Marilyn and John and is given to Nursing students.
