She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; parents; father- and mother-in-law, Alexander and Emily Ambrose; and brothers-in-law, Dennis Ambrose, Kenneth Ambrose and Rich Nielsen.

 

Per Dolores’s wishes no services will be held. She was a woman who loved her life and was grateful for the people in it so please celebrate her life and do not grieve her passing. A private family graveside service will be held at a later date.
