She was the adoring “Mimi” to Christi, Jack, and Geena Gosse, and to John, Tom, and Matt DeVincentis, and the proud great-grandmother of Abigail and Tommy DeVincentis.

Dolores was the cherished sister of the late Grace; Marie Weinman (Joe); Cass Ward; John Ward (Eileen); Joe Ward (Nancy); Ed Ward (Teresa); Hatch Ward; and Charlie Ward. She was also the sister-in-law of the late Jean Weaver (Bill) and the late Dolly McCarthy (Jack).

Dolores graduated from Saint Hubert High School and went on to work as a secretary and ended up working as a tax examiner/instructor for the IRS. She had a love for reading and especially enjoyed doing crossword puzzles. Summers spent in Brigantine, New Jersey, brought her great happiness. She was an avid fan of the Eagles and the Phillies. Her secret for a long life was ice cream every night. Above all, family always came first in her life.
