Born November 22, 1936, in London, England, she was the daughter of the late Stanbury Montague Pearse and the late Maria-Luisa Lozano Pearse.
The loving matriarch is survived by her daughters Maria-Luisa Patricia Sosa-McMunn of Winter Springs, FL; Dolores McMunn Polaski and her husband, Dennis Polaski, of Jacksonville, FL; Susan McMunn Dyke and her husband, Seth Dyke, of Sumter, SC; and her son, Richard Thomas McMunn and his wife, Tina Flesch McMunn, of Atlanta, GA.
She leaves behind her loving grandchildren: William (Ryan) Sosa-Oliver, Veronica Sosa, Jennifer Sosa, Mitchell (Morgan) Sexton, Susan (Brent) Cosenza, Daniel (Nicole) Polaski, Deanne (Luke) Travis, David Polaski, Sydney Dyke, Spencer Dyke, Ashley McMunn, and Logan McMunn.
She is also survived by 10 great-grandchildren, her very dear friend Joan Marshall King, and her ever-faithful poodle, Monique.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, MSgt (Ret.) Richard Clee McMunn; her mother, Maria-Luisa Lozano Pearse; her father, Stanbury M. Pearse; her daughter, Barbara McMunn Sexton of Brunswick, GA; her sister, Patricia Margaret Pearse of Geneva, Switzerland; her brother, Charles Pearse of New York; her grandson, Denny Polaski of West Point, NY; and her brother, Robert Louis Pearse.
Dolores will be desperately missed by all those she's left behind. Our hearts are forever broken. She was a devout woman of faith and servant of the Lord; we take solace in knowing that she has entered the Kingdom of Heaven with the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. She was one of a kind; to be loved by her was to be truly blessed.

My heart goes out to you in this sad time. I hope that memories of her smile and laughter bring you some comfort. She was such a huge part of my mom´s life and her best friend for at least 50 years. There are so many memories of the two of them together. I remember one camping trip to Myrtle Beach state park, when they sat in the camper and played rummy for hours while it rained outside. I think Cindy is right when she says that Dolores and Joan were like Lucy and Ethel. We will all miss her.
