Dolores was gracious in every aspect. She lived her life by her own personal brand of decorum and selflessly served the lord. She was cherished by close friends and family. She was a true matriarch and loved fiercely.
Dolores raised three children independently with unwavering tact. She loved her kids and she adored her grandkids and great grandkids. She exuded pure love for them. Her love was unconditional and she never failed.
After retiring she filled her time with creating, painting, sewing, singing, and serving. She was a beautiful artist. She had a way of taking a blank canvas and making it into something so extraordinary. Dolores also sang in church choirs. She loved singing for the Lord, so much so, that at one point she sang in two different church choirs.
Those who knew Dolores will remember her for her wit and humor. She will be remembered for her unwavering faith and her steadfast love. She was selfless in all aspects.
