Dolores was born on January 8, 1934 in Fraserwood Manitoba. She spent her childhood on the family farm part of a large family. This love of the land, nature and gardening remained with her for her entire life. She ventured to the city to complete high school. As a young woman she worked as an administrative assistant - a job she spoke of proudly and fondly her whole life.
Dolores married in 1954 and soon became a full time mother and homemaker. Throughout her life she enjoyed gardening, knitting, playing bridge, gourmet cooking, teaching Sunday School and in her later years spending countless hours caring for, teaching and loving her grandchildren. Her summers were spent at Winnipeg Beach creating wonderful lifetime memories for them. None of the kids will forget her “porridge every morning” rule!
