She participated in the foster grandparents programs and worked for the Missoula Aging Service in various capacities until the time of her death.

Her hobbies included knitting, card playing and watching her beloved Packers play football in the fall.
Dolores coordinated the knitted cap and mitten programs that provided Head Start children with winter warmth.
A devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend, she took great pride in treating all people with dignity and respect.

The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Seagrave and his staff, Partners Hospice, Nightingale Nursing, Missoula Manor and many friends that have been so very supportive to us during this time. We thank you all.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to Missoula Partners Hospice, Missoula Cancer Society or the Missoula Manor Endowment Fund."
