I knew Dee because I was a part of the team that took care of her at Maple Ridge Retirement Home. She was absolutely amazing to look after; we would go shopping, go to mass and it was always pleasant taking her for her meals at the restaurant. She was a thoughtful person and I totally enjoyed caring for her. I googled her name whilst I was telling a friend about my time at Maple Ridge only to see that she had passed……May she continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Thank you for all these memories of Dee. I only knew her through bible study, she was always so loving and encouraging to everyone. I belong to St Pat’s in Elkhorn, I will have a mass said for her. May she Rest In Peace, my condolences to all her family.
I met Dee in 2002 when I joined a water aerobics class at Lakeside Wellness Center. She was one of the first in the class to welcome me which should come as no surprise to all who knew her. I had the privilege of picking her up at the airport upon her return from a visit to either Mary or Anne-can't recall which. She was, indeed, a wonderful caring person who gave in so many ways to so many people. Her memory lives in all who knew her.
Dee was such a joy and blessing at St. Vincent de Paul Church. It was a blessing to get to know her through volunteering and Bible study. I have missed her sweet smile. You have my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your beautiful mom/grandmother. Peace be with you.
I found some words to describe this lady who inspired me and gave me friendship in her later years. Innocent, Pure, Devout, Cheerful, Modest, Unpretentious, Capable, Industrious, Efficient, Giving, Kind, Optimistic, Warm, Lovely
I met Dee because of Seeking Truth! She was one of the dearest people in the group I was in. We became friends, I am so sad to learn that I will not see her again in this world. I will never forget the testimony she gave at the last day of one of our Bible Study years. At the end of her testimony she mentioned that her husband would not recognize her when they would met again. Sharon our Bile Study leader assured her that he would be thrilled to see her when they meet again. I hope right now they are enjoying being together again. Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers for Dee and for you her family.
Such a beautiful tribute which so accurately describes that lovely lady. When I moved to Elkhorn in 1993 Dee was among some of the first people I met at St. Patrick’s Church where we both attended at that time. With her friendly, caring ways it didn’t take us long to become fast friends. Although she was widowed by the time we had met, I enjoyed listening to her tell me about “my Jim”. I always admired her deep faith and quiet wisdom. She truly was a remarkable blessing to so many. My deepest sympathies, Anne and Mary, and to your families. You were her pride and joy. Although I miss her a great deal I know she is finally at peace living eternally with Our Lord.
To know Delores was to love her! Delores was truly a light for all, exuding Love, Compassion, and Empathy!
I always called her "Saint Dee" because Delores was indeed a walking Saint on this earth! May Dee rest peacefully in God's loving arms surrounded by her family that eagerly awaited her arrival!
My condolences to Anne, Mary, and family. Dee loved you all to the core of her being despite the physical distance! She truly lives on in you and your awesome children! Liz Easley
This is a beautiful tribute to your mom as it tells her whole life story. She had a remarkable life. Her friendship was such a blessing to me. There was 5 of us….. “The Prayer Ladies” …….at first together to pray for our children. Forty years later we still meet each Tuesday to pray. Now there is 3 of us. I will miss her terribly…… her wisdom, her laugh, her tender soul, her smile and her counsel. Heaven is richer for her presence and we are poorer in her absence. God bless you Anne and Mary. We are praying for you.
I live in Lartchmont and have been a friend of Delores’s oldest, Anne, for almost thirty years. It was always such a pleasure visiting with her when she was in town. And when she wasn’t here, Mrs. Eichler frequently commented on my Facebook posts and let me know she was out there and interested in the goings-on of me and my family. She will definitely be missed and I feel a better person for having known her.
