Dolores H. Strassner, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, friend, was born on November 13, 1933, in Rochester, New York, where her warmth and kindness would eventually touch the lives of many.

Dolores was predeceased by her parents, Roman and Gertrude O'Grady Thomas, and her son, Howard Strassner, who left an indelible mark on her heart. She also shared her life with her loving sisters, Susan (Gerald) Leva and MaryEllen (George) Beadle, as well as her treasured sister-in-law, Phyllis Thomas, who stood by her side through every chapter of her life.
