Delores was a wonderful friend to my mom, Phyllis McAllister, and her sister, Dorothy Coenen. They had a lot of fun bowling together and took quite a few trips together. She was the sweetest person and wonderful seamstress. She will be greatly missed. My dad,Howie McAllister, and I extend our sincerest sympathy to the family. Sympathy,Marcia Burkhardt.
