1 Oct 2020I bowled with Doloris the past two years and she was such a delightful lady. She always had a sweet smile and sparkle in her eye. We always had a lot to chat about and she was an amazing bowler at her age.

4 Oct 2020Doloris was one of my favorite faces to see on Tuesdays when her son, Wayne and daughter in law, Susan would bring her to eat at Senor Manuel. I’m so thankful to have been a part of her life and that she was able to be a part of mine.

8 Oct 2020I am so glad Doloris came into my life a couple of years ago. She had such a bubbly personality. Not only was she fun to talk to but was so spry and active for her age. She will be deeply missed by me and the rest of her bowling buddies.
