s, history, and literature. She loved knitting and weaving, and she was a voracious reader. She was particularly interested in mysteries and helped to found a chapter of Sisters in Crime in Wichita, KS. Dolores had a superior intellect and an extraordinary memory throughout her long life until her passing. In her final days and hours, she was singing songs from Broadway musicals with her family, and still actively engaged in discussions about current political and sports events.
