Darlene A. Dolan's Obituary
Darlene Hodgson Dolan, age 77, of Bethany Beach, DE passed away on Tuesday, October 7, 2014, at Bebee Healthcare in Lewes, DE. She was born on November 11, 1936 in Spokane, WA, daughter of the late Jane and Lloyd Hodgson.
Darlene was the adoring wife of Robert Greene Dolan (deceased) for over fifty years. A true partnership, full of adventure, love, and laughter. Together they conquered Washington, DC before retiring to their piece of paradise, Bethany Beach. Days were bursting with plans and clubs, from Monday Bridge, Wednesday Dinner, South East Democratic Club, and traveling with the Shillelaghs, to doting on their faithful canine companion Brigit, and enjoying their home away from home, The Cottage.
Darlene is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and friends who she embraced as family.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 AM Monday, October 13, 2014 at St. Ann Catholic Church, 691 Garfield Parkway, Bethany Beach, DE.
