Some of her favorite memories growing up were of her father teaching her and her siblings how to dance and play instruments and her mom teaching her how to sew. Dolores was a retired seamstress. She handmade clothes for her children, grandchildren and her granddaughters dolls. She never turned down maple walnut or coffee ice cream. Once retiring from sewing she became a caregiver for the aging. In her free time she has enjoyed baking, playing cards, bingo, and scratching tickets, but her most favorite times were those spent with her grandchildren
Her family will miss her terribly but take comfort in knowing she will be with her husband and catching him up with the many years of stories she has of the all the grandchildren and finally teaching him how to dance.
