Think of her often.  She dedicated her life to doing good for others, even when she was struggling to put her own life and family together in a new country.  She always gave me a sympathetic ear and listened and encouraged me.  She was very hard working.  She was very involved in her grandchildren's lives.  She was present at all important occasions in their lives.

She has left a rich legacy of love for her children and grandchildren.

Happy to console myself that she is in the presence of the Lord.

One of the kindest person i have encountered in my life. Dolly you will be missed. 
God blessed your soul forever. 

Mrs. Singh and I met when I visited my cousin Wendy in New York many years ago, always a smile and a kind word. As my visited to New York increased I was blessed to spend many Christmas Eves at Gary’s home and had many long and interesting talks with her. I always remember when I was there in September she would come over most afternoons with her knitting and we would sit and talk about her life in Guyana and compare life in Trinidad with Guyana or sit and listen to old Bollywood songs. She was such a wonderful and caring person who treated anyone as family.
My heartfelt condolences to the Singh family I know that she will be missed, an irreplaceable part of your family but she has left a lifetime of memories that will give you comfort when you think of her.


I first got to know Mom in late fall 1989 whilst living in New York  having come across from England to work for a few months.

I had become friends with Gary and Sean and was introduced to their family in Hollis. Mom invited me to join the family for Christmas and I will never forget the warmth and kindness that I experienced from her and the Singh family.

Mom was always such good company and a joy to talk with, generous and giving and it was lovely to hear her stories on how she came to live in the United States of America and how her family had grown with all the people that she took in as part of her extended family.

I will never forget her love, kindness and warmth.

It is so sad that Dolores has passed away. She has been so compassionate and held a presence wherever she went. When we first met in Cologne, she immediately made the strong, warm, and open impression that we know her for. She has had hardship to overcome in her life but was always welcoming and guiding. She was beloved “gmom” for our daughter Pia, who lived with Sean’s family for a year, and her letters ever since have been a real joy and inspiration. While her body has gone, so much of her lives on in her large family and the many people who’s heart she touched.  

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my beloved friend.  She was the matriarch of her family.  After her husband's death, she bravely took the reins into her hand and raised her children in a new country guiding them along life's pathways.  Her family included her late sister's son and at times both boys.  Her home was always opened to others in need.  She always had a sympathetic ear to listen and offer guidance and words of comfort to others.   She spoke lovingly of her family and grandchildren.  My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to her beloved children especially my Godson Sean and all her grandchildren.  She fought the good fight and is now received into the loving arms of her beloved Lord.  You will be terribly missed.

To the siblings  uncle Gary, uncle Sean and others of the late Deloris Singh our condolences to all, as from the short moment i get in touch with grandma Deloris she was a very nice person. We had so much plans seeing each other face-to-face. She promised to come Guyana and spend some time with my dad (Sam) her eldest nephew and to visit other relatives and most of all where she grew up, in the Pomeroon River but those plan can't happen anymore. Grandma got sick and even worst, one day she told me "all the plans i had coming to Guyana might never happen", it was a really sad moment for me because i was hoping to see her. On the 26th May i got the news that grandma Deloris passed away peacefully and it was a sad day for us in Guyana, our relatives sent their deepest Sympathy to the children and grandchildren of the late Deloris Singh. May her soul rest in peace and she will always be remembered by her loved ones.

Met Dolly in 1980 on our nascent journey in a new land and our friendship developed more like family, moreso since we shared mutual friends and professionals. Dolly was one of a kind in almost everything we knew of her, most of all she would unhesitatingly speak her mind without reservations. We were in constant contact, thanks to the media until her passing.
Our sincerest condolences to her beloved family and relatives especially her children Gavin, Moses, Debbie, Gary, Sean and their respective families.
May the Good Lord give each and everyone of you the Faith, Strength and Courage in this time of grief.
We and our prayers are with all of you.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Uncle Ivan, Aunty Anita and chidren

Dolores and I created a bond years ago when we found out we had the same name. No matter what battles we faced we still kept in contact. With loving, positive messages between us from time to time, it helped us get through our cloudy ⛅️ 🙏 days.
God opened his doors to a beautiful angel. 
RIP Dolores until we meet again!
Dolores Pastrana 

Delores and I became close friends after I retired. I first met her in June 1966, as a new asst teacher, working with her.We talked a lot and I learned much 
about one of her favorite places(Pomeroon in Guyana)—way into the early morning hours.
Family, you learned many wonderful “things “from her; always remember She was a Lady.
May she Rest In Peace
Patsy Paul

At the Baptism party for one of the grandchildren, Dolly and I stood together and watched the swirling mass of toddlers and small children, all colors and combinations thereof,  run around the yard.  As we stood together we marveled at the generation that came after us and wondered what our own parents would have made of it all.  I never forgot this occasion.  It made me realize that these children were the new faces of our country and, for us, Dolly and me,  the old thinking and superstition fell away at that moment.  May her name be for a blessing.
