Dolores McNeil Moss 1930 ~ 2005 At the end of a summer of beautiful roses, Dolores McNeil Moss, mother, grandmother, aunt, friend and gardener extraordinaire, ended her struggle with breast cancer at the home of her daughter in Orem. She fought a valiant fight, and few who knew her were aware how difficult living with her disease was. Dolores was born August 4, 1930 in Bountiful, Utah to Ulrus H. (Mac) and Evelyn Pearce McNeil. She married Robert G. Moss in Bountiful July 8, 1950. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They created a home in Centerville where they raised their family and made many lifelong friends. Dolores worked for Davis County, at Bountiful High School and Wasatch Regional Council and owned a business, "The Waiting Game." She served in various callings in the LDS Church, including Young Women President, Relief Society teacher, ward chorister, and her favorite, Primary chorister. She and Bob served a mission to LDS Employment Services. They served together in the Ogden, Provo and Bountiful Temples. After retirement, Dolores and Bob built a home in Midway, Utah. Eventually, they built their final home in Fruit Heights. With each move, they created beautiful gardens and a hospitable home and made many wonderful friends. In 1997, Bob died and Dolores faced widowhood with her characteristic determination. She was supported by family, wonderful friends and neighbors and blessed by her friendship with Mr. Dick Bowman, whose kindness and zest for life made Dolores's last years so wonderful.
