On October 27, 1956 in Koerth, TX she married A.C. (Tony) Sladecek. They made their home in Holland, TX where they raised their 5 children. She was a loving and caring mother, wife and friend. She lived her catholic faith and made sure her children were raised in the faith. She also shared and taught her faith with anyone she met. When the catholic children in the community needed a place to meet to hold religious education classes, she welcomed them to their home. In all circumstances she turned to Jesus and trusted in his divine mercy. She had a great devotion for Mary, Jesus’ mother and prayed the rosary daily. If you knew Dolores you knew you were with a saint. She was the best cook and a dedicated homemaker. She collected cookbooks and liked to try new recipes. She and Tony raised a large garden. They canned and preserved what their family needed and many friends and neighbors enjoyed vegetables from their garden as well. She also provided child care for several neighborhood children and worked in the Holland School cafeteria for a number of years. She enjoyed traveling.
