DOLORES LEA HEBERT

Condolences & Memories (28 entries)

• I am truly shocked and saddened to hear of Dolores' passing. I'll always remember Dolores as a very funny woman, larger than life. We kept in touch for quite a while when our mutual friend, Donna Pierson Watt passed away. The last time I saw Dolores was at the DND reunion at the Norwood Hotel where she was Master of Ceremonies. She had us all in stitches. She was electrifying that night not only in wit and humour but in apparel as well. Her top was flamboyant and my husband asked her if that thing lit up. We all had a good laugh. That's how I'll remember her. She was in her glory. I offer my sincere sympathies to Pierrette and Gilles (Nancy) and the whole family. - Posted by: Léonne Brisson-Kelsch (friend, DND colleague) on: Oct 06, 2014

• I (Marilyn) met Dolores my first year teaching in Shilo. We were the "city" girls from Wpg. Except for 2 weekends she, Bev and I left the base for home..... Bev to Westbourne Dolores and I to Wpg. Although Dolores only stayed in Shilo for one year we kept in touch. Our annual one day meeting in Portage were treasures. We always found someone to take our picture in front of Tim's. When we lost Bev last year (shortly after our final get together) we vowed to continue to meet. Unfortunately that did not happen. I am so sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye. We were on holiday and I just read about her death in KIT today. Our condolences to the family. - Posted by: Marilyn and Dale Lund (close friend and collegue in Shilo) on: Sep 29, 2014

• I was heart broken to hear of Dolores passing. I taught with Dolores in Germany many years ago and always had such fond memories of her. Little did I know that years later I would end up in Winnipeg where I worked with Dolores on the RWTA. She was an amazing lady! I did not hear about this until today. My love and prayers go out to the family. Love Leota and Wayne Turner - Posted by: Leota turner (Friend) on: Sep 05, 2014

• We will miss your enthusiasm for life and education, Aunt Dolores. You've always been an inspiration to me as your niece and as a teacher. Thanks to your encouragement and a visit to your school many years ago I have almost completed My Masters Degree in Education. My children and I will always fondly remember the last time we were together when you took us to the children's museum in Winnipeg and played on everything in the museum with us. My condolences to the rest of the family and all Dolores' numerous friends. (niece) - Posted by: Shanelle McCormick (niece) on: Aug 22, 2014

• I will always be grateful to Delores for introducing me to the Lansdowne Family and for her thoughtful, caring ways. She taught me never to take life too seriously and I will always remember her generous smile (which is probably what she is doing right now). Thanks for the memories... - Posted by: Lise Starkey (Friend ) on: Aug 16, 2014

• Dolores (TiTi to us) was my sister Louise's best friend and a friend to our entire family. Her bigger than life personality, her big laugh and her big heart will be terribly missed. - Posted by: Jo-Anne Sutherland (Lavack) (Friend) on: Aug 16, 2014

• A true lady. Always full of passion and humor. Dolores lit up a room. She will be missed. - Posted by: Manuel Silva (Colleague) on: Aug 16, 2014

• It has been a month of sadness since hearing the news of her health. We all grew up in the same area, went to the academy and some like Delores went on to a higher education which led her into teaching. I am sure her personality would have had an impact on many young people. In our get togethers with our school companions Delores brought such a "Joie De Vivre" to the table. She embraced life. We will never hear that voice again. C'est un grand tristess. - Posted by: Magdeleine ( Maggie ) Nishimura (early childhood school companion ) on: Aug 16, 2014
