Fondly remembered by the Hergott, Norris and Sienna families.
Dolores was born and raised on the family farm in St. Clements. She was a long-standing member of the Christian Mothers Society.
She started her working career at Burns Meats and later Hergott Plastics Limited for many years. She was blessed to have enjoyed many wonderful trips over the years.
Some of her favorite pastimes were playing bingo, trying her luck at the casino, and enjoying a good card game. When the Blue Jays were on, you could count on her to be watching, cheering them on every inning.
What Dolores loved most of all was her family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren meant the world to her, and the love she gave them was boundless. Her memory lives on in every smile, every story, and every moment we shared.
A heartfelt thank you to her daughter Colleen Francis who shared her home for 6 years allowing Mom to have the best care, support and quality of life.
We would also like to acknowledge the 5th Floor nursing staff WRHN @ Midtown where she stayed for 6 days and then to the Palliative Care Team at WRHN @ Chicopee. (3rd Floor) for their skill, compassion, kindness, and gentleness for our Mothers care, for her last 6 days. The level of communication and support to the family will never be forgotten.
A special mention to Care Partners who also supported us and facilitated anything we needed in the home.
Mom was a gift and a beacon of strength to all of us, leaving behind a legacy of love, understanding, patience and kindness.
“Memories are the timeless treasures of the heart”
“Until we meet again”
