Dolores enjoyed traveling, watching the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys as well as spending time with her children and grandchildren: Gabriella (Gabby) Rebeca Torres and Nathanael Allen Torres. Dolores was one to always help those in need, whether it was her family or friends. She had a huge heart, and it was important to check on her family on a weekly basis. Once a month she went to the Food Bank to pick up food for her family and friends. She was there to help others first before serving herself. She will be greatly missed.
