We were so sorry to learn of Dolores’ passing. She was a wonderful woman who adored her family, and took care of her work teams like a mother. I will miss her.
It is with a heavy heart that I offer my condolences to her friends and family. I worked with her at Unilever. She had the kindest heart and I called her my ‘Uni-Mom’. I have fond memories of her and will carry her in my heart always. She loved her family and her eyes shined bright with pride when she spoke of her kids and grandkids and amazing husband. My deepest sympathies.
