Marilyn & John Docksey Memorial

Originally established in memory of Marilyn, a long time Willmar resident, RN, and wife to Dr. John Docksey. Dr. Docksey received his medical doctor degree from Marquette University in 1950, the same year they 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 his retirement in 1989. Marilyn passed away in 2007 and John in 2009. This scholarship fund honors both Marilyn and John and is given to Nursing students.
