Dlores was born in Chappell, NE on June 12, 1928, to Ellis and Anna Alvord (who preceded her in death). After she graduated from high school, she attended a secretarial school in Lincoln, NE. In 1948, Dlores married Verne DeWitt (who preceded her in death). They had two sons, Donald Verne and Scott LeRoy (both preceding her in death) and moved to Colorado Springs in 1951.
Dlores was a long-time employee of the state of Colorado, who retired from the Colorado State Employment Office after 30 years of service. She enjoyed reading, taking pictures and creating photo albums, and traveling. Dlores and Verne opened their home to many foreign exchange students over the years and she was great at keeping in touch with them. Dlores had a gift for hospitality and loved spending time visiting with family.
Dlores is survived by her sister, Shirley (Louis) Allison, two granddaughters, Tara (Robert) Irons and Michelle (Crade) Scott, two great-grandsons, Coben Scott and Ryley Scott, and her daughter-in-law, Becky Ahl.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
