Dolores passed away peacefully in the North Shore Hospice surrounded by love after a long struggle with cancer. Her bravery and determination were astounding.
Dolores was born in Vancouver and worked hard throughout the years to raise her son, Ryan.
She was loved by the staff and children of the North Vancouver School District where she worked as an SEA for many years until her retirement. She was a valued member of River Woods Housing Co-op.
She is survived by her beloved son, Ryan, sister, Penny (Terry) and her niece, Cherri, as well as many caring friends who she was very thankful for.
A Celebration of Life is being planned for June 27th at River Woods. For details please email: celebratedolores@yahoo.com

My dearest Deela❤️
It's hard to put into words what you meant to me, all of your friends and Rosie. We all loved you and will miss you so much. So many thoughts of you pop into my mind everyday and memories are always there. I will especially miss your kindness and love and will always be inspired by your strength and your feisty character. You had that sparkle in your eye. No one I have ever known will compare to you.
Rosie will miss visiting you at your house, Holly's ball, cheezies and watching over you at the hospital.
I am so thankful for all of the years that I had of being your friend and will love you always and forever.

Dearest Dolores,
Thank you for being such an amazing neighbour, for always having a cup of chocolate chips for me, for feeding the kids (and us) your delicious chocolate chip cookies and for just being such a kind and amazing human being! You are dearly missed. I have been watering your front door roses and keep thinking you’re going to pop out and say “hi”. Rest in peace beautiful.

My mother was one of the most stubbornly wonderful people in the entire world..
Honestly I was fàr to lucky & undeserving to have such an amazing human being in my life.
Anyone that had the pleasure of getting to know Dolores would always remember her as a person who would worry if she didn't have anything to worry about...
Unfortunately I very much believe she would worry herself sick& unfortunately I have had a part to play in that throughout the years.
It's a true saying that "you don't know what you're got till it's gone", but I already miss her annoying phone calls. If she didn't talk to me once a day she thought I was dead in a ditch...
She was stubborn up to the end because she wouldn't rest in peace until my girlfriend ( who was the very first girl my mother loved) came to see her to tell her that she would take care of her baby boy & she didn't have to worry anymore.
That night she finally got to stop worrying about me & got to move on.
Love you mom, wherever you are now at least you dont have to worry anymore. You will be missed greatly.
IDK how I'm going to remember people's birthdays & anniversarys without you? R. I. P. XOXO

Dearest Dolores, I will miss our daily conversations, our Saturday breakfasts at White Spot, your smile, your laughter and of course lets not forget your delicious chocolate chip cookies which were the absolute best as everyone who ever tried one was addicted to them!!
You are now in a better place with no more pain or suffering and now with Lynne partying it up and your fur-baby Holly Molley and watching over all of us down here. Dolores you are now free with the Angels to Rest In Peace. Love you and you will be missed deeply. xo xo xo

My dear friend, I am going to miss you daily. I am thankful for the many years we got to spend together. We went through so many events supporting each other through good times and bad. I was blessed to have your friendship and to be able to share these final days with you. You are finally free of the pain and suffering and reunited with family and friends you lost, including your beloved Holly Molley. Rest in Peace my dear Dolores. God Bless. I love you xxx
