To the family of Dolores, I am so sorry for your loss. Dolores was such a kind and loving person. I worked with her at Security National for only a couple of years but we became friends quickly. She was an inspiration to everyone with her happy, positive attitude. There are some people we meet in life, even for a short time, that just leave a lasting impression. Dolores was one of those special people. May she Rest In Peace.
Aunt Delores you will be missed, especially our weekly phone calls. I would like to thank all her friends for watching out for her all these years. Words cannot express our gratitude!!!!
I worked with Dolores at Security National Bank many years ago and we have always kept in touch. I will miss our phone conversations and cards she would send.
Rest in Peace my friend Dolores “Do”.
My heart is sad … She was the sweetest lady, known to my family as the bank lady. My son drew her pictures which he gave to her at the bank drive thru. She always told me she had kept them from all those years ago.
We faithfully wrote to each other after her retirement to keep up to date as my family grew up.
Rest in eternal peace dear Dolores
you’ll be forever in our hearts.
Deepest condolences from
The Diehl’s,
Celeste, Charlie, Chana & Chad
I worked with Delores at Security National for 17 years. So many wonderful memories. Rest In Peace.
I enjoyed working with Dolores at Security National Bank! The good ‘ole days’!
Our family is saddened at the news of your passing. Sam was always eager to receive fun letters and pictures from his sweet “Auntie Dolores” (a fun nickname for his Great-Grandmothers best friend). My soul delights in knowing you had a joyous reunion with Grandma. Rest high on that mountain Dolores. We’ll continue loving you from here. Karen, Danny & Sam Matthews
Our Mingledorff family has loved you for as long as we can remember because of your wonderful friendship with our mother, Mary Lou Draher Mingledorff. We love you, Dolores. We know that you’re so happy to be in your little spot
in Heaven. You will always be a part of our family. Love, Kathy and the rest of the Mingledorff‘s.
It was a joy to know you for so many years — and to celebrate our joint birthdays! Eternal rest grant to Dolores and may the light of Christ shine on you in heaven.
You were loved and will be missed.
