Delores Savela Obituary
Delores was born on July 7, 1924 in the Rainier Valley area of Seattle also known as "Garlic Gulch," referring to the Italian population that settled in that neighborhood. She was the first born and much loved beautiful baby girl born to Italian immigrant Louis Lorella and his wife Louise (Grosso) Lorella. Delores passed away in hospice care on December 11th. Her Italian heritage and strong will kept her going strong for 91 years.
