DOLAN, Bernadette Pauline (nee Auger) Dolan - March 11, 1943 – September, 10, 2022
Bernadette, Dette, Sparky, Big Bernie but most notoriously known as our Mom and Mama, decided to make her angel status official on Saturday, September 10th, 2022 at the age of 79.
There wasn’t much this incredible woman couldn’t do! Stubborn and persistent to a fault, she created the most incredible gardens, sloughing hundreds of pounds of soil, screening and interlock brick to create an amazing backyard oasis!
Over the years, this became a gathering place for family and friends to share stories and an abundance of laughs, when these stories took a turn and her sick sense of humor shone through.
Another gathering place was the “Dolan kitchen” where she dominated as the maker of the “rainbow roast,” an all-around amazing cook, baker and hostess.
