Dolores Amaya Jordan, 90, born September 12, 1924, passed away April 30, 2015. Dolores was born in the small mining town of Miami, Arizona, but was raised in the small town of Olive near Santa Anna, Ca. She met and married her husband Juan Jesus Jordan when he was in the U. S. Navy stationed at Los Alamitos Naval Air Base, near Santa Anna. Juan brought her to the El Paso area in 1945 and left for WWII to fight in the South Pacific. She lived in El Paso for the rest of her life where she was a devoted housewife for 65 years and a nourishing mother and grandmother all her live. She was very religious and a very generous woman. She lived close to San Jose Church where she attended mass every Saturdays. Friendly neighbors helped her to continue attend mass even after her husband Juan passed away. Juan and Dolores made several religious tours to Catholic Churches all across Mexico and traveled with senior groups across the U. S. southwest. For the last 3 years she was privileged to live at Ambrosio Guillen Texas State Veterans Home where she was cared and loved by a superb professional staff.
