Born in Lorain on February 5, 1933, Dolores was a graduate of Lorain High School and a life-long resident of the city.

Dolores was a lover of small animals, especially cats, and was well known for her willingness to feed the strays that visited her Sheffield Township property. Additional interests included classical music with a special fondness for the voice of Luciano Pavarotti. Undoubtedly, her greatest enjoyment came from spending time with her family.

Dolores was preceded in death by her parents Walter and Margaret (nee Akosi) Kritz (a.k.a. Kricz).
