Dolores Jean (Erd) Pollauf, 82, of West Toledo entered into eternal rest surrounded by her loving family at the Hospice of Northwest Ohio in Toledo on Monday, January 16, 2012. Dolores was born in Toledo on July 17, 1929, to Adolph and Theresa (LaFave) Erd. Dolores was married 55 years to James C. Pollauf, Sr., who preceded her in death on September 2, 2006. A 1947 graduate of Central Catholic High School, a 50-year member of the former St. Agnes Catholic Church where she served various roles including president of the Rosary Altar Sodality where she starred in many variety shows, was the first Director of the RCIA Program, a CCD teacher, and CHRP member. She worked for the Bell Telephone Co., Libbey Glass, and 10 years for the Diocese of Toledo at the West Toledo Religious Education Center retiring in 1992. Dolores belonged to a Bunco Club for 67 years, a member of the Kay-C-ettes, Gerardians, Ohio Child Conservation League and the Salesian Club, a volunteer for Heartbeat of Toledo, where she served as vice-president and was a charter member for the Frog Town Scribes of Toledo.

She will always be remembered as a friendly, giving, strong leader, hard worker, faithful volunteer, and especially as a devoted mother who raised 10 loving children and lived her life with a deep and abiding faith in God. She truly was a servant of God. Some things she enjoyed were sewing, story writing, scouts, western square dancing and bowling.
