Dolores Delemos, 91, of Bethlehem Township, departed her earthly home on August 24, 2025. Born on January 20, 1934 in Portugal, Dolores was the daughter of the late Manuel da Costa Domingos and Adelaide de Jesus.

She enjoyed a long and fruitful retirement delighting her loved ones with her culinary prowess and imbuing them with her strong, zestful spirit. In the words of St. Augustine in her native Portuguese, "Vou para o Pai, mas não esquecerei aqueles que amei na Terra." "I am going to the Father, but I will not forget those I loved on Earth." Dolores's memory will forever live in the hearts and minds of her loving family.

Dolores is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Maria Helena and Antonio Alves, and grandson, Paul Alves, all of Bethlehem Township. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 67 years, José L. Delemos, and dear sister, Elza Pais.

At the request of the deceased, funeral services will be private. Entombment will be at Holy Saviour Cemetery in Bethlehem. Online condolences can be offered at www.connellfuneral.com.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the St. Jude’s's Children's Research Hospital.
