Dolly was born in Calgary and lived most of her life in Taber. For many years Dolly and Clyde travelled with their concession stand to exhibitions and rodeos in Alberta, and for a number of years owned a confectionary store in Taber and also farmed land in Purple Springs, Alberta.

Dolly will be missed by her nieces, great nieces and nephews and great-great niece and nephew (Calgary, Edmonton, White Rock and Dallas, Texas) and also by her numerous friends.
