Our friendship with Dolly started in Virginia as teaching buddies and has lasted 60 years. She was good at keeping in touch with people - she let us know she cared. She was an inspiration in so many ways and we will miss her wonderful laugh.

I'm so sorry to hear about one of my friends passing. Dolly and I were very close when we lived in Bocca and she was my inspiration. Clark, you and Helen are in my prayers and I share your loss. Alta Nickle (& Paul, too)

We are so sorry to hear of Dolly's passing. She was the matriarch of the community and always had a smile. Lots of memories will be cherished by many.
