Dolores enjoyed working for the NY Telephone Company for over 30 years as an operator. She had a strong sense of faith and was a proud member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Amsterdam. She lived a life of service, as a member of the choir, Eucharistic minister, president of the Christian Women's Association and volunteer for the church office. Dolores had a beautiful voice and loved to sing. She was a soloist at many church events and enjoyed singing to her grandchildren. She also loved to bake and was especially known for her biscotti, italian cookies, and chocolate jumbos.

Her memory will be carried on through her daughters, Peggy O'Shea and Marybeth Tedisco (Richard) and her beloved grandchildren, Nicholas Hess, Maria Tedisco and Jennifer Tedisco. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews with whom she loved spending time.
