Eugenia Dolores Williams died in the early morning hours of April 21, 2014. She was born April 24, 1927 in Chicago, Illinois the 4th child of Niklaus and Marie Kuper who immigrated from Romania and the Ukraine.
She is preceded in death by her parents, all but one of her siblings, her only son, Stephen and is finally reunited in heaven with her husband of 58 years Chuck.
Dolores is survived by her devoted daughter and son-in-law, Christine and Roger Wallace, who fulfilled a lifelong promise to care for her until the day she could be reunited with Chuck.
She is also survived by 4 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, Alexandra and Nicholas Wallace, Jason, Dayna, Ben and Megan Williams and Nathan, Liz, Jamie and Andrew Williams. Her grandchildren called her Gagi – a term of endearment given to her by her only granddaughter Alex.
Dolores was loved by many others but especially by her 'daughter # 2' Kate Dungan who also fulfilled a nearly 50 year commitment of love and kindness toward her. Kate's husband Dick and their children Todd and Michael were a second family to both Chuck and Dolores.
The family would also like to express their sincere thanks to the team at Bethany Lutheran Village. Dolores was lovingly cared for and attended to during the last 6 years of her life by some truly extraordinary people.
A memorial mass for Dolores will be held at Incarnation Church on Far Hills Avenue on Friday, May 2 at 10:30 A.M. Friends and family will have a chance to visit meet immediately following the service.
