Dolorosa was a mild and modest lady who made friends everywhere she went. She was always a gentle but steady guiding hand in the lives of her children and her students. Dolorosa was able to make special connections with her students though English class, Art, and Drama. She made a positive impact in every life that she touched.

After retirement she enjoyed her flower garden and planting vegetables just to watch them flourish. In colder weather she liked to sew and snowshoe with her sisters. She had so many talents and hobbies and truly lived every day to its fullest. She will always be our special angel.
