Dolores was an extraordinary woman known for her numerous hobbies, community involvement, and her generous heart. When you saw Dolores or visited her at her house, she always made you feel welcome.

She enjoyed following all her grandkids’ activities and was very proud of them all! She enjoyed looking at all of the family photos that they had taken over the years.
