Dolores worked at Texas Instruments in Dallas until moving to Kingwood, TX in 1975 to be a stay at home Mom and raise her children.

Dolores was also known as “Dee”, Mama, Grandma Dee and Aunt Dee-Dee and was loved by everyone she met. She loved raising her daughters, helping her daughters with school work, and spending time taking care of her family. Dee loved watching her daughters and grandkids sporting events, dancing competitions and school events. She never met a stranger in her life! Dee had a heart of gold and was always there for everyone, no matter what and whenever she was needed. Everybody could talk with her, come to for advice, be the shoulder to cry on, be the one to make you smile and laugh even on your gloomiest days. She loved to travel to small towns and shop in the local antique stores. She loved playing games with family, going to Bingo, and playing video poker at the casino. Dee lives on through her family, loved ones and friends.
