My sincerest sympathy to all of the Sipos family. Dolly was a wonderful person. Growing up in St Anthony´s church was a special time in my life that I´ll always cherish. I learned as a young altar boy from Captain Larry Sipos, Dolly´s son.
There were a lot of wonderful hard working people at St Anthony´s. But none were more special than Dolly. I can still vividly remember looking up to the choir loft hundreds of times and seeing Dolly, in her robe, humming in the pitch pipe, getting the choir organized and ready. She was the backbone and leader of the choir. And they were a beautiful choir.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Dollie's passing. Dollie and Joe Sipos were what good people are all about. Their dedication to St. Antony's Antiochian Church in Butler is extremely noteworthy. Leading and singing in the Church choir, doing Church repairs and upkeep, playing/cheering for the Church's championship softball team for years, working at bake sales, and serving on the Church's Board of Trustees are just a few examples. But there was a lighter side too - one Sunday morning, they entered the Church Hall before mass. Joe was wearing a black and a brown shoe. Dollie hadn't noticed until then but laughingly called him out on it. I last saw Dollie at my cousin Butch Michaels' home a few years ago and we relived a lot of fond memories. May she rest in peace and may her family find the strength to endure during these trying times.

My deepest sympathy to Dolly´s family.
I don´t think I have a single memory growing up at St Anthony´s without Dolly being ever present. Leading the choir (with Joe always there too) for so many years( my Mother and I briefly were a part of).The church bake sales...When they lived on Moran rd many many years ago, we used to ride quads on the property because of their kindness. Dolly was a very close friend to my Godmother,Mary, as well, and I always enjoyed when Dolly would visit her and I was privy to their wonderful stories,memories, and laughter.
May the joy Dolly lived her life with shine down on her family and friends.
