Dolores was a Registered Nurse at Saginaw General Hospital and Frankenmuth Lutheran Home for many years. Along with helping on the family farm, Dolores enjoyed gardening, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and reading. She passed down her love of knitting to her three granddaughters. Above all, she cherished time with her family. Dolores loved the Lord and was an active member of St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Richville for many years. She will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
