Dolores was a loyal follower of her lord and savior Jesus Christ and she was a long-time member of Beatty Free Will Baptist Church where she was a Gospel Singer (solo or in a trio with her sisters, Ernestine and Doris Lee) for most of her adult life. For over 16 years Dolores worked at the Springfield Metallic Casket Company and she also owned the Country Kitchen Restaurant in Kentucky where she was famous for her homemade pies. In her spare time she enjoyed spending quality time with her family, gardening and cooking. She enjoyed feeding people and if you were to stop by to visit with her, there was a good chance you would not leave hungry.

If ever there was an angel on earth, this lady would be it! Before she got sick, I made a point to tell her this. We will so miss this person that I called "Mom" Dan

I was born on Dolores's birthday, May 3rd. When I was young Dolores spent a lot of time with me and I loved that. I thought she was beautiful. This is her picture when I was born.

I am Dolores's niece. My mother, Louella Osborne was an older sister of hers. During the last two weeks of my Mom's life she was hospitalized. So she wouldn't be left alone, Dolores and my aunt Lydia stayed with her a night and my Dad and I stayed with her during the day. Dolores unselfishly took care of her and gave her love for those last two weeks of her life and I will never forget her and wil always love her for doing that.
