Dolores Ellen Meyer

Dolores E Meyer passed away peacefully under the care of Hospice, March 5, 2024, at the young “in spirit” age of 88 years. Present with her were her daughters Linda and Elizabeth and Grandsons Jake and Jon-Michael Bosford. Dolores is a native of Brooklyn NY. She moved to upstate New York with her husband Charles A Meyer in 1954. After several years at the Farmhouse in Hadley the family moved to Church Street Lake Luzerne NY. She was retired from the Glens Falls Hospital in 2000 with over 25 yrs. of service and continued past that date as a per diem employee. She served in several roles in the American Legion Auxiliary post #862 in Lake Luzerne. She was first to volunteer for any church or other community events. She enjoyed traveling with legion members and friends to many conventions and events in NY and throughout the country.

Dolores and Charles moved to Middleburg, Florida in 2001. Dolores remained active over the years volunteering at Orange Park Medical Center for several years, was an active YMCA member participating in water and exercise classes and participating in the Middleburg Senior Center activities. She continued playing bingo at the senior center until her recent illness. One of her favorite nights out was going to play bingo at the Elks Club in Green Cove Springs. She was also an avid lotto player reminding everyone you can’t win if you don’t buy the ticket. Her favorites were scratch off tickets and she rarely missed those weekly, mega million and Powerball games.

She enjoyed being a “snowbird” spending summers in NY with her children and also travelling to CA and WA states to visit her children when they resided on the west coast. There are so many fun and special memories about Dolores especially those with the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, holiday celebrations and her very special 86th birthday party with participation by out-of-town relatives who wished her a special Happy Birthday via Zoom.

Dolores was preceded in death by her spouse of over 50 years Charles A Meyer, her parents Helen & John Moran of Brooklyn, NY; her sister Helen Moran and Brothers John Moran and Robert Hickey of Brooklyn.

Dolores is survived by her children, Charles A Meyer, Loudonville, NY; Ellen Smead, So Glens Falls, NY ; Suzanne (Stephen) Duarte of Corinth, NY; Linda (Michael) Bosford of Middleburg FL; Elizabeth (Andy) Clute-Stutter of St Augustine, FL; her grandchildren, Daniel (Jamie) Clute of Lake Luzerne, NY; Jake Bosford, Orange Park, FL; Jon-Michael (Jessica) Bosford of Middleburg, FL; her great-grandchildren, Christopher Clute, Jacob Bosford, Chase Bosford and her little princess Olivia Bosford; nieces and nephews in Brooklyn NY, Staten Island, NY and New Jersey.

We are blessed to know that Dolores is in Heaven living a vibrant life once again.
