She graduated in 1946 from Saint Agnes Academy and in 1950 from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a member of Alpha Chi Omega. Dolores married Marvin Martin the following year. They were married for 53 years and were the parents of three children.
A retired physical education teacher, Dolores loved encouraging people to get and stay active. She taught at Pershing Junior High, Johnston Junior High, and Sharpstown Junior and Senior High schools. She was also a charter member of Saint Francis de Sales Catholic Church and a longtime member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
Dolores is survived by her daughter, Teri Dee Martin of Austin; two sons and daughters-in-law, Tim and Susan Martin of Missouri City, and Robert and Patty Martin of Houston; three grandsons, Taylor Martin, Matthew Carter, and Travis Martin; one sister, Antoinette Roll; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Marvin, her brother Jimmy Macey, sisters Lillian Lucadou, Mary Usher, and Dominican Sister Theresa Macey.
