"Dolores devoted over 35 years to caregiving, working in private in-home care and assisted living settings. She provided emotional, physical and medical support to countless elders, earning a reputation for her patience, empathy and exceptional communication skills. She often went above and beyond preparing nourishing meals tailored to clients' needs, organizing nature walks, and accompanying them to appointments, social outings and even family visits out of state."
"A loving mother of four, Dolores also had a wide range of interests. She was fascinated by medical advances, Chinese culture, history and sociology. She loved cooking and photography, and she found joy in exploring the world. In 2003, she traveled to China, and in 2021, she fulfilled a lifelong dream by visiting Machu Picchu experiences she cherished deeply. She loved teaching her children and grandchildren to cook traditional dishes, turning simple meals into lessons filled with laughter and shared stories."
