Dolores Crawford's Obituary
Dolores I. Crawford peacefully crossed over the rainbow into heaven on Sept. 11, 2023 at the age of 91. She is survived by her 4 daughters and their families: Carol Del Forno, Dolores Doremus and her husband Rick, Donna Young, and Diane Poulos and her husband Steve, and was predeceased by her son, Robert Crawford. She is also survived by her 10 grandchildren, Eric, Lisa, Katie and predeceased by Robert (d.1999), Crissy, Jessica, Erika, Nicole, Alex, Steven and Lauren.
Dolores also had several nieces and nephews and their families whom she remained very close with.
She married our Dad, Robert (Bob) in August, 1951 in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Long Island, NY in 1963. Our mom was the glue that kept us together. We shared an insurmountable amount of time throughout the years at each of our homes around tables sharing meals, recreation and a lot of love & laughter which created wonderful memories that we are all still fortunate enough to have to this day. We all grew together through the years; our parents, grandparents, siblings and “all the kids”.
We will continue to make her and my Dad proud by continuing to follow our family traditions and may she be resting with the angels and her family now.
For as sad as we are, that’s how happy they are to have her “Home” for all those she has missed so much through the years.
In Lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Association would be greatly appreciated.
