Dolores Molla Obituary

Dolores Ann Molla, 86, passed away Tuesday, October 8, 2024, peacefully, in her home, with her family at her side. Dolores was born July 13, 1938, the only daughter of the late Steve Slavikosky and Rose Harshman. Dolores was a graduate of Trinity High School Class of 1956. She had many jobs over the years, but retired working for Sam Oliverio Insurance and keeping the books for the family business, Molla's Auto Clinic. On November 30, 1956, she married the love of her life, Livio Alfred Molla, who survives. Dolly and Jr. had many great adventures together. They enjoyed camping and traveling all over the United States. Dolly enjoyed going to the casino, playing cards, shopping, and getting her hair done every week. She enjoyed being a pet owner to Shotzy, Stripes, Tasha and Maggie over the years. Dolly was a lover of all animals especially the red birds. It brought great pleasure to Dolly to spend time with her family. She loved cooking and hosting family gatherings. She leaves behind a beloved son, Raymond (Vicki) Molla; two grandsons, Justin (Jill) Molla, Cody (Rachel) Spence; and two granddaughters, Ashlee (Wendell) Molla, and Katy (Chad) Molla; six great-grandchildren, Rylan Spence, Gabriel Molla, Sadie Molla, Seger Spence, Liam Pritchard and Linden Spence. She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved daughter, Cindy Spence; and a son, who died a birth. The family would like to give a special thanks to Gateway Hospice and its caring and compassionate team members, who were truly exceptional. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

I got to know Dolores from being a healthcare worker and I always enjoyed her cat stories and she did love her kitties. My deepest sympathy to her family.
