Dolores was my next door neighbor in Palmetto Creek. She was my first friend after we moved from NY to NC. We lost touch when she moved to Wilmington. Pic is her visiting with my grandchildren at our house. I was saddened to find this notice about her passing. She was a good neighbor/friend, and a sweet person. I know how much she loved her family! Our condolences to all her loved ones.

I have lots of memories of my sister,Dee, like when we went to visit her in Chicago,she had paper dolls cut out and coloring books and crayons ready for us. When she moved back to Wilmington we grew closer and did lots of things together. She was a game freak Scrabble, Rummy cube, Hand and foot Canasta and Dice. She was very competitive but never got angry when she didn’t win. There was a sweet side too. She was always there when I needed help with something and never complained. I love you sissy and you will be greatly missed. I am happy for you as you walk in the garden with the Lord and sing with the angels and you are with your sister,Carla. I miss you both, love y’all so much. Your loving sissy, Jacki

She was also a game freak Scrabble,rummy cube, hand and foot canasta, and Dice. She was very competitive and loved to win, but never got mad if she didn’t win. She just loved playing! I will miss you and the good times we had playing those games,but I am happy for you as you walk in the garden with the Lord and sing with the angels. You are now with our sister Carla and I miss and love you both. But one day I will be with y’all. Your loving sister. Jacki

I sure loved my aunt she was always willing to take care of me when I was growing up. To help my mom whenever needed. Loved sitting and playing games with her and my uncle. She was always so very kind to me. I love her so much and she will be greatly missed.
