Our deepest sympathies to Dolly’s family. Dolly will always be remembered for her kind heart and wonderful talents. We became good friends through her benevolent volunteer work at Mercy hospital. She was loved by my daughter and me for crocheting over 100 doily name gifts throughout our friendship. She will be dearly missed! May Dolly Rest In Peace knowing that she made a difference in so many lives.:two_hearts: Francie Crawford & daughter Laura
:two_hearts: what a truly special, beautiful lady she was!
Dolly was a amazing woman I’m glad I got to know her while at Nhnrc
I enjoyed knowing Dolly while she was at Kensington Place. My mother was also there for several years. Dolly was always smiling and pleasant and busy with handwork or activities or cards. My sympathy to Roger especially and to all of the family. It is very sad to lose your mom whenever it happens. She was blessed with a long healthy life. This is a sacred time to share your memories and your faith and love as well as the grief. Mary Sharon Peraud
My sympathies to the Schilling family on the loss of your Aunt! Patty Wisher
My name is Mary Whiteside (from Georgetown, TX) and my Mother, Beulah Quisling also resides at New Hampton Nursing & Rehab. When my Mother was still in her apartment, she would get picked up by Bernice Felder and they would go to Dolly’s apartment in the assisted living and play cards together, which they all loved so very much. Dolly was such a lovely person and so very good to my Mother. They also shared the love of crocheting. She will certainly be missed! My condolences go out to the family!
My name is Tanya Hall. I am Beulah Quisling’s granddaughter who lives in Omaha, NE. I am so sorry for your loss. Dolly was such a lovely lady! Dolly was such a great friend to my Grandma and I appreciated it so much. They have been friends for years and years. When we moved my Grandma into the assisted living a few years ago, Dolly would watch over her. I visit my Grandma every 2 months and we would always walk down to visit Dolly. I even went to visit Dolly early this January when I was there. Dolly will be missed by many. May she rest in peace now. Tanya
Sympathy to the Whiteman family. I have known Dolly since I first came to town and boarded with Evelyn Debettignies on West Main. Remember her as an active member of different groups and reader. Bob, you live in the same town with my dear cousin Anne Raimondo Boardley. Small world.
Dolly was such fun to play cards with – she had a real competitive spirit and was happiest at the card table. She did beautiful crochet work also. Dolly will be missed.
