Dolores Irene Pollack's Obituary
Dolores Irene Pollack Birth date: April 28, 1937 - Death date: March 16, 2026
Dolores I. Pollack, age 88 of Lewes, DE and formerly of Bellmawr, NJ, passed away on Monday, March 16, 2026 at the Milford Center in Milford, DE, after a long & courageous struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Dolores was born on April 28,1937 in Wilmington, DE, daughter of the late Herman Legg and Stella (Gawronski) Legg.
Dolores' life was marked by kindness, positivity & service to others. She was a devoted & loving daughter, wife, mother, friend, co-worker & community volunteer. Her daughters were her world. She was their Girl Scout leader, school librarian & a tireless fundraiser. Dolores was an avid reader who loved following the news & politics, & she enjoyed all types of music. She was employed for 15 years at Deluxe Check Printers as a proofreader & office worker.
Dolores had a wonderful outgoing & friendly personality, & connected with people easily. This led to a family joke, because Mom would often return from a shopping trip with a story of who had approached her with questions or need for advice! "That smile", that everyone she met remembered, including her many caregivers, up to the very end of her long journey home... Dolores was a woman of genuine faith, a believer in the goodness of people despite their flaws.
Dolores was pre-deceased by her husband of 62 years, Ron, in 2019. She is survived by her two daughters and son-in-law, Eileen Pollack of Lewes, DE and Mary Ann and Brian Harris of Ijamsville, MD.
Friends are invited to attend a brief funeral service on Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 11:00 AM in the chapel of the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Millsboro, DE. Lunch will follow the service.
