Dolores Graveman Hale

Dolores Graveman Hale, 85, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, December 27, 2024. She was born to Henry and Agnes Graveman on August 22, 1939, in Mobile, Alabama, and remained a lifelong resident. Dolores graduated from Convent of Mercy. She was a devout parishioner of Our Savior Catholic Church in Mobile. Dolores was very passionate about her work through the Ministry of Care – of which she retired – and her volunteer work with family life. Her zest for service in the Lord led her to being chosen for the Christ the King Medal in 2010 from Our Savior. Dolores loved Mardi Gras and was a member of a few Mystic Societies in Mobile. Her position with House of Lloyd made it possible for she and her husband Frank to travel the world.

Dolores was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Hale; and her parents, Henry and Agnes Graveman.

She is survived by her children, Mark Hale (DeDe), Lisa Garrett (Patrick), Donna Sonneville, Keith Hale (Tracy), and Michael Hale; nine grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; brother, Martin Graveman (Hazel); sister, Sarah Wallace; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and other cherished family and friends.

Visitation for Dolores will be held on Thursday, January 2, 2024, from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. at Our Savior Catholic Church in Mobile, with a Mass of Christian Burial immediately following. Inurnment will be in New Hope Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gift cards from McDonald’s for a #7, to be donated to Our Savior Catholic Church for distribution to those in need. They can be brought to the service or mailed to 1801 Cody Road, Mobile, Alabama 36695.
