She was an adored aunt and great-aunt to many nieces and nephews, who will miss her guiding presence and her ability to make every family gathering a memorable occasion.
Her career as a registered nurse at the Cleveland Clinic was marked by her unwavering commitment to her patients and colleagues. Dolores's nurturing spirit and skilled hands brought comfort and healing to countless individuals over her many years of dedicated service. Her retirement from the clinic was a testament to her enduring impact on the medical community and the lives she touched.

Her love for adventure was matched only by her dedication to the Christ Child Society of Cleveland, where she was a longtime member and volunteer. Her selfless service and generous spirit were an inspiration to all who had the privilege of working alongside her.
