Dolores Eugenia Shreeves, a long-time resident of Collingswood NJ, and later of Surprise AZ, passed in Sun City AZ on January 11th, at the age of 87 after a brief illness. Dolores is survived by her husband, William Noble; her beloved dog Snowflake; her five children, Diane Gail, Karen Lee, William David, Cheryl Ann, and Brian Wayne, as well as ten grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Dee was born in Camden, NJ, on February 7th, 1932, to Wendell Benjamin (Beeny) and Lillian Elizabeth (Tilly) L'Esperance. Setting a beautiful example, the meaning of family and friendship was paramount to her. A devoted daughter, mother, and wife, Dee passed away just shy of celebrating 67 years of marriage to Bill. She was known for being generous of spirit and for opening her heart and home, particularly to those in need. There was always room for one more at the table.
The family feels blessed for the wonderful gift bestowed by such a loving wife and mother and will be grieving privately. If you wish to further honor Dee's memory, donations can be made to the Arizona Humane Society at, www.azhumane.org.
