Dolores Marion Newbold
Born in small town Saskatchewan in 1935, passed away Saturday April 30, 2011. Upon moving to Victoria in 1996, she promptly changed back to her maiden name McDonald. She wore blue jeans when poodle skirts were “the rage” and listened to Hank Snow when Elvis was the king. Setting herself apart was her way but never being left behind her mantra. A gifted knitter with a keen mind and a passion for current affairs she embraced email long before it was cool and thought nothing of meeting her brother for coffee at 2am. “You can’t stop living your life” was her favorite expression and she never did. Dolores will be remembered by many for her years at the Yarn Barn in Thompson Park Mall as well as her piano playing with the Kamloops Old Time Fiddlers. She was predeceased by her parents Lillian and Donald, brothers Duane and Ingram. She is survived by daughter Mary Lou, favorite son in law Stephen.
If you desire, a donation in memory of Dolores can be made to the Victoria branch of the SPCA.
A celebration of a life well lived was held Saturday May 7, 2011 in Victoria.
