Dolores worked for 20 years, from 1963-1983, at Peter Paul in Frankfort and also worked at Donaldson and Wal-Mart.  She attended Souls’ Harbor Church in Frankfort and enjoyed baking cookies with her grandkids. Dolores taught her family about the Lord and lived by example, a wonderful Christian life for all to see.  She was full of Christ’s love and His joy.  Dolores suffered great loss and had many trials and tribulations in this life and she bore them with dignity and grace, but most of all, with the help of a merciful and gracious Lord.
