Sorry we couldn't be there to say good-bye to Aunt Dolly. She was sweet ,feisty, smart and a really good cook. I still savor the holiday dinners with the whole family. You guys were lucky to have her for a mother and I lucky
to have her for an Aunt. I remember summer afternoons in the yard with your dad, Steve ,mom and your dogs
Brandy & Pepsi trying to get in and out of your pool! I guess they're all splashing in heaven now!
Love Johnny & Marsha Magala

So sorry for your loss. I always admired your mother’s commitment and determination for our faith. She helped me with International Night for years. When our parishes merged I found some wonderful women that I have grown to admire, Dolly, Marlene and Eileen. What a trio❤ Your family is in my prayers through this difficult time.
