Dolores married Charles Melvin Kinslow from Edgeley, ND in 1949. They moved to South Fargo where they lived for over 60 years. She raised 6 children, Melody, David, Donald, Douglas, Dale, and Donna.
Dolores was an active fixture in the community. Volunteering with political activities, Bonanzaville, church activities including card making and quilting, Hospice and so much more. Playing Solitaire with her husband was a daily enjoyable activity. She beamed with pride over her beautiful backyard garden, she could grow anything! Canning peaches, making potato salad and goulash, delivering May Day baskets, always remembering every birthday, writing daily journals, tracking her heritage, stamp and coin collecting. These are just a few of her many remarkable traits.
