Dear Debbie and family,
I loved the quiet grace and very private dignity Delores wore! She was a Southern lady with a fun and very dry wit! I remember her Mom and love Debbie and know that Delores is right where she wants to be at this time! I will miss her face and person on this planet but feel sure she will be counted with the saints (or perhaps enjoying a good laugh and a good joke with God!).

To the family of Dee - it was not my privilege to get to know Dee, but she was one in my Dad's list of favorites! He was a good judge of beauty, both physical attractiveness and true characterand Dee charmed him from their first meeting at His wedding when he and Grandma Pearl Stier were married.
Just wanted you to know I am standing with your during this difficult time. You are in my thought and prayers...

Debbie, Charles, and family,
I had heard loving words about your Mother and was finally privileged to meet her once, many years ago. I have often fondly recalled that day. What a beautiful, delightful, and gracious lady! You've been truly blest to have such a Mom. Natalie and I are so sorry for your loss, as well as, our inability to be there with you as you celebrate Aunt Dee's life and home-going. May the certainty of Christ's resurrection (and ours) fill you with peace and anticipation as we look forward to that awesome Day.
Love & prayers, The Bereuters

Debbie, I was deeply saddened to learn of your beautiful mother's death. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I have many wonderful memories of her cheering us on at swim meets. She was the epitome of the true Southern Lady, always gracious.

Mrs. King was such a very nice lady. I remember when she would come to K-mart pharmacy for yrs and every yr she brought blueberry that was grown in her yard for all the staff and spent a very long time talking or telling jokes and Mr. King would sit on the bench very quietly until she was ready. She will be missed but never forgotten.

The epitome of a southern lady was Dolores - with great charm, wit, and humor. She didn't hesitate to tell it like it is. Which I admire greatly.

I am married in family. Her daughter Deborah Stier Carson was married to my baby brother Robert Peter Carson.

This is my favorite Dolores Quote - and i believe it originally came from her mom Jonnie B.

I don't wear a lot of makeup and go natural most of the time. One time I was with her in dress-down state with my bare face. She looked me over and leaned in. She told me very confidentially, "Sue Ann....even an old barn looks better with a fresh coat of paint".
