Dolly had a passion for dancing in her younger years, especially Latin-style rumba and samba. She adored chihuahuas including her beloved pets Chi Chi, Chili, and Cosita. A woman who always knew what she wanted, she was the epitome of strength, independence, and determination. She lived life her way, with passion, and will be remembered for her love for her family.
