• Notes

  After Fred's death, after his nine-month long hospice care at the apartment in 'Ford City', Chicago, Dolores moved to an assisted living place, Tolentine on Olympia Fields. Being a former seminary, the 'rooms' were just two 'cells' with a shared bath area. However, in 2004, the nuns who ran the place lost their lease and everyone had to leave. Dolores moved to the Franciscan Village in Lemont, IL, in June, 2004, to a much more spacious one bedroom apartment. Lemont looks almost like a picture postcard town and the 'village' includes lots of rolling greens for walking. Late in 2013 she moved from independent living to dependent living at Franciscan Village. On May 7, 2014, Dolores participated in an Honor Flight to Washington, DC. This was one day after her 91st birthday.
