Dolores met the love of her life on a blind date but didn’t much care for him.  But as they spent more time together, it blossomed into an everlasting love and bond that lasted well beyond their 70 years of marriage.  Dolores held jobs in the nursing field, but her most fulfilling job was being a wife to Don, and mother to her three children.  Don and Dolores were very active in their church, Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in Madison.  They were also active in their hobbies which included playing bridge, bowling, golfing, camping, and metal detecting.

Dolores is survived by her son, Steven Schlaver, daughters; Susan Schlaver Wentland, and Sandra Laux, grandson, Tyson Laux, sister Jeanne Alens, and many extended family members.  She was preceded in death by her husband Donald, her parents, a sister Ruth Herman, brother Gerald Herman, and nephew, Scott Herman (God Child).
