Dolores or as everyone knew her “Lola” lived a very full life. She was very blessed to always be surrounded by people that loved and admired her. Lola‘s big heart gave her the opportunity to love and care for many during her lifetime. She raised her six children and still had plenty of love to give all her nieces, nephews and friends. Her fountain of love continued to flow when her grandchildren and great grandchildren arrived. One of the things that made her special was that she loved to cook. Lola always made sure no one left hungry. She will always be remembered for her flour tortillas and her pancakes.

The family would like to thank her extended family at Gateway Care Center Clovis for treating her like family for the last 9 years. They provided the best care and emotionally supported her when she needed it. The staff truly went above and beyond what was expected of them. They would Uber Eat her food when she wanted and some would come in on their days off because she requested to be in their presence. We will forever be grateful to the love and care she received from them.
