Dolores, a life-long resident of Harmony Township, was a registered nurse who graduated in 1952 from the Allegheny General Hospital School of Nursing. She worked at Providence Hospital in Beaver Falls, Rochester Mental Health, performed medical exams for Prudential Life Insurance, and filled-in as the school nurse at Highland Elementary. Dolores married the love of her life, Eugene Lee Vlasic, on January 10, 1953 at St. Veronica Church, Ambridge, PA. They had four children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Dolores and Eugene spent 55 wonderful years together traveling the entire continent of North America, which included a road trip through Canada to Alaska, and a trip to Hawaii. They also frequented Florida, the Outer Banks, and attended the Rose Bowl Parade to see their granddaughter perform with the Ambridge High School Band. One of Dolores' proudest moments was volunteering for the election of JFK as part of the Beaver County Young Democrats, and traveling to Washington D.C. for his inauguration.
