Dolores was a lifelong member of St. Edward Catholic Church, where she was very active. She was known for being the family nurse, caring for anyone who needed it. She enjoyed bowling and family time, especially with her grandson, Samuel, to whom she was very close.
Dolores's husband of 44 years, Felix Orlando, whom she married on May 21, 1966, died April 26, 2010.
Dolores leaves behind her daughter, Marcy Orlando of Liberty; son Philip (Lesley) Orlando of Liberty; sister Rita Finelli of Girard; two brothers, Ray (Louise) Leone of Liberty and Carmen (Donna) Leone of Poland; and grandson Samuel.
Besides her parents, Carmen and Josephine, and husband Felix, Dolores was preceded in death by her sister, Jessica Chianese; and two brothers-in-law, George Finelli and Mario Chianese.
Family and friends may pay their respects on Monday from 4 to 5:50 p.m. at the church.
