Dolores made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life and was a member of Mount Carney Christian Church where she was active in many areas of church work. She particularly enjoyed being in the ladies group.
She liked being outdoors where she took care of her yard, did some gardening and grew beautiful flowers. She was an avid reader and instilled the joy of reading in her children. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
