Dolores Gasking Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
92, of New Windsor, NY. Born March 1, 1933, to Walter and Helen
(Kennedy) Porter in Newburgh, Dolores graduated from Newburgh Free
Academy.
Living in the Newburgh area her whole life, she was mostly a homebody
raising five wonderful children. She also had several grandchildren and
even a great grandchild. She retired from Orange County as a clerk
helping those with Medicaid.
Dolores loved her roller skating and going on trips with her friends in
Plattekill. She loved rooting for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish but absolutely
never missed watching her beloved Yankees!
Although described as feisty at times, Dolores was loved by all those who
knew her and will be sorely missed. She leaves behind her daughters Mary
Potvin, Joanne VanNorstrand and her husband, Jonathan; and her sons
Dave Gasking and Nelson Schoen. She is also survived by her
grandchildren Adam Stabell and partner Katie, Brittany Stabell, Jacob
VanNorstrand, Shawn VanNorstrand and Patrick VanNorstrand. Dolores
was lucky enough to spend a couple of wonderful years with her only great
grandson Grant as well.
Dolores was predeceased by her son Russell Gasking 3rd and her
daughter Linda Gasking.
Friends and family are encouraged to attend her calling hours, Wednesday,
June 18, 2025, from 4pm to 7pm at Timothy P. Doyle Funeral Home, 371
