Dolores Johnson, beloved wife, mother, and friend, passed away on August 29, 2023. She was a kind-hearted woman who brightened the lives of those around her with her generosity and warm spirit. Dolores will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Born on January 5, 1940, Dolores lived a life filled with love and compassion. She approached every interaction with empathy and understanding, always willing to lend a listening ear or offer a helping hand. Dolores possessed a unique ability to kindly express her disagreements.
Dolores had an incredible passion for nurturing nature’s beauty. She found peace and joy in working in her garden, meticulously tending to each plant with care and dedication. Cutting her grass and maintaining a picturesque yard brought her immense satisfaction as she reveled in the vibrant colors and fragrant blooms that surrounded her.
