In Memory of Doloras Hendricks

September 8, 1917 – August 15, 2010

Presentation Associate Doloras M. Hendricks considered it an honor and a privilege to be “connected” to the Dubuque Presentation sisters all of her life. She was educated by them during part of her grade school years at St. Joseph in Farley, Iowa, and graduated from St. Columbkille High School in Dubuque. Through the example of two aunts and a cousin who were Presentation sisters, Doloras knew the answer was “Yes” when asked if she would like to become an associate. She made her first commitment as a Presentation associate on November 2, 2003. She has three sisters who are also Presentation associates:  Charlotte Danner, Mary Danner and Jean Foust.

How fitting for Doloras to enter heaven on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as she had such a great devotion to Mary. Doloras was also born on the Blessed Mother’s birthday. The love of her faith, her family and her compassion for others was exemplified in the way she lived her life. She will be missed by all who knew her. We remember Doloras with love and gratitude.
