Many times she would accompany her husband, Ralph on his 18 wheeler work trips to Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and all across the State of Texas. While on vacation in Deadwood, South Dakota, she saw the actor Kevin Costner however she was much too nervous to ask him for his autograph. But she was sure to tell her sister, Diana just how handsome he was! The beautiful lady loved her dogs, but she would also rescue cats that suddenly appeared on the front porch, a trait believed to have been passed down from her Daddy. When she got a puppy or cat, it became a family member for life. She loved her puppies, Pepe, Snoopy, Rusty, Rambo, Sparky, Cocoa, Smokey, Hunter and Bailey, and her cats, Dallas, Crystal and Kitty. They were so loved and all were treasured. Dolores was a caring and loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, great-great aunt and friend.
