Dolores was an important member of our AAUW branch for many years. She was one of the first people to welcome me to Skaneateles and was always up to date on what was going on and willing to participate in our community. I send heartfelt condolences to her family.

My condolences to John, Kenneth, David. Being a mom of 3 boys is something special. She's up in heaven now looking down and I'm sure she has a big smile on her face having brought up 3 great kids. extra prayers for you guys.

Sending our love to the whole family. How I enjoyed Dolores in our church circle...even though she often napped during our Bible study in the later years! Her clipped speech must have kept her students interested and also in line. And I loved all the plants she nurtured in her sunroom! What wonderful memories! Many more for you all, I am sure, to cherish for the rest of your life!
