Dolores enjoyed bingo and trips to Atlantic City to play the slots.  She knitted baby sweaters for everyone to celebrate newborns.  Her cooking is legendary and she made sure you never left hungry and always with a meal to put in the freezer.  The family would like to thank the staff at Lincoln Park Care Center/The Renaissance and the Villa for their care and compassion during her long stay. 

Services will be private.   She will be interred in Florida with her husband, John.  Arrangements will be handled by Norman Dean Home for Services, 16 Righter Ave., Denville NJ 07834. www.normandean.com.
