Dolores Irene Lorance

Dolores was a switchboard (PBX) operator for over 40 years. During WWII she moved to Washington, DC and worked with the Government as a PBX operator for two years. Once switchboard operators were no longer in use, she became a receptionist at Tenneco and continued to work there for over 10 years before retiring in 1991. Even after she retired, she continued to work part-time and sold Mary Kay Cosmetics until the age 75.

Dolores was a huge fan of pop, disco, and big band music. She loved gardening and it was a huge part of her life. She always made time to admire all plants and animals no matter where she went.
