Dolores Kolodjeski Obituary
After several years as a dedicated nurse serving multiple departments at University Hospital at Rutgers' Newark Campus, she married her devoted husband of 61 years, Stanley. The two relocated to Deal, NJ and there they raised their family, and cherished long summer days full of community and camaraderie at the Phillips Avenue Beach Pavilion. She continued her nursing career in the medical office of her brother-in-law, Dr. Michael Doyle. Prior to moving to Tinton Falls, the couple also resided in Interlaken.
Dolores was fiercely proud of her Irish heritage, the daughter of Irish immigrants Anna (nee' Morahan) and Malachy Healey, and never missed an opportunity to celebrate her background and culture. She was a member of the Jersey Shore University Medical Center's Foundation and helped organize several fundraising initiatives. Dolores and Stanley were also founding parishioners at St. Anselm's Catholic Church, Wayside NJ, and participated in many different aspects of the Church community.
She is survived by her loving husband, Stanley, her three sons: Andrew (Laura) of Shrewsbury NJ, Daniel (Kim) of Bluffton, SC, and Craig (Erin) of Arlington, VA, and seven grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, her two sisters: Ann Healey Rayder Dlouhy and Teresa Healey Doyle, and her daughter Sheila Kolodjeski.
