DOLORES PARADA Obituary

Dolores B. Parada was born on June 30, 1921, and passed away on Monday, December 16, 2013, at the age of 92. Dolores was a spirited, lovely lady who was always full of life. We will all miss this loving woman whose greatest joys were her family, friends, playing bridge and games, telling jokes, dancing, motor homing, and Boston Terriers. She lived most of her life in Fresno and enthusiastically supported the Fresno State Bulldogs, San Francisco 49ers, and the San Francisco Giants. Dolores was married to the love of her life, Joe, for 59 years, and with whom she is now dancing, " The Tennessee Waltz", their wedding song, for eternity. She will be missed greatly by her children, Joanne, Richard and his wife Carla, and Janis and her husband Michael; and her grandchildren, Ricky, Lindsey and her son Gavin, Brett, and David and his wife Lauren. She will also be missed by all of her extended family, wonderful bridge club friends, her exceptionally loving and caring neighbors, and many others whose lives she touched. There will be a Celebration of Life in honor of Dolores, in January.

I will always remember how she would grab my hand as I walked by and say. "Sit down, Laura, and let's gossip."
