To the sweetest cousin one could ask for. I was an adult before I really got to know her. But her love and joy for life always shine thru. God bless all of her family.

Aunt Dolores will be missed so much. She showed so much love to her family and friends. I loved to hear her and Uncle Budge sing at church. I use to tease her about sitting so close to Uncle Budge in the car. She was always happy to see us when we came for a visit. I know she is happy to be with Jesus and Robin
Delores was a very dear cousin, who be be truly missed. She was a great person to everyone she met. Sorry we are unable to attend her funeral but our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
No one could ever ask for a better sister than Dolores. She had a kind and big heart for everyone and everything. She will be missed here on Earth. She has exchange here Earthly home for a Heavenly Home.
I am blessed to have known and to be related to such a kind, loving, and caring soul. She had a gift of making people feel special, from the time I was a child then later with my children. I cherish all the laughter we all had together, and her smile that always seemed to be there. God Bless all of you.

Such sad news. Delores was such a blessing to everyone she met and I looked forward to our Norris Reunions each year to see her and Junior. Prayers for comfort to all of those who are left with that empty space she filled so well.
I learned a lot about homemaking from Mrs. Mayle. How to fold towels. How to fold a perfect fitted sheet. How to make the best spaghetti I ever tasted. Oh my Goodness, and chicken n dumplings! Even, how to be sure I was marrying the right man. I’ve missed her ever since I married that man. Rest well, to the sweetest and bestest role model at my second home, growing up! You and Robin are catching up, I’m so sure. Love to you all, still here on earth. Thank you for being my other family and sharing your Mom with me!
The heart of Christ that's what I see when I think about my Aunt Dolores. Sweet kind loving and caring a glimpse of Christ You taught me so much about Jesus and His love.Thank you. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. I will see you again someday. I will miss you and I love you, but I know you are with your Saviour and Robin and for that I am rejoicing.
Praying God's peace will prevail in your hears and minds. At this time of year we are reminded of our Savior's special sacrifice which includes “Surely, He has born our griefs and carried our sorrows”.
