Dolores Gintling Obituary
Dolores Powers Gintling, 96, of Essex, MD, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on May 27, 2025. Born in Rochester, NY on January 3, 1929, to Francis and Anna (nee Lauer) Powers, she lived a life filled with joy and love of family and adventure. She graduated from Sparrows Point High School in 1947 and worked as a secretary for the Ft. Howard VA Hospital for 6 years. Once the children began to arrive, she dedicated her life to raising her family and making her home a place full of memories. She loved crafts, dancing, playing dominoes & poker, sewing, helping others, traveling but she especially loved ice cream!
