Always joking and pranking people, Dolores could have been a stand-up comedian.  She loved being silly and making everyone laugh.  She loved her family most of all, but also her laptop, recliner and online shopping. A true shopaholic, she could always be found ordering something for herself or others, mostly from Amazon. 

Dolores was loved by many, missed by all and will forever be in our hearts.
