Dolores & I worked together for many years for Whatcom Co. She was a class act. When she retired to care for Don she took on the task with grace & strength. After he passed away she kept busy and met the “love of her life” Bob. They had a lot of fun together. She always had an unbeat view of life & I’ll miss her. Keep on dancing!

Please accept my sympathy to the dear Family & Friends in the painful loss of your dearly loved Delores. She will be sorely missed by all who knew & loved her.Hopefully you will find a measure of comfort & hope in the following Bible Verses. Isaiah25:8 “HE WILL ACTUALLY SWALLOW UP DEATH FOREVER AND THE SOVEREIGN LORD JEHOVAH WILL CERTAINLY WIPE THE TEARS FROM ALL FACES”

I worked with Dolores for several years at Whatcom County Buildings and Codes. She was always kind and thoughtful and I learned a lot from her respectful demeanor. My condolences to her family.
