In Loving Memory of Dolores T. McGlone

Dolores T. McGlone of Marco Island, Florida, 93, was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law, aunt, grandmother, and friend to many generations. She died peacefully on February 24, 2024 with her daughter Victoria M. Beebe holding her. Dolores was pre-deceased by her husband Louis F. McGlone Jr. in 1986. She is survived by her two adult children and her grandson, Matthew L. McGlone. 

Dolores was born in Trenton, NJ on July 3, 1930 and raised in Lawrenceville, NJ. She lived most of her life in Hamilton Sq, NJ as a wife and mother. She was not one to sit still. From maintaining the home and taking care of her family to doing the landscaping and painting the house both inside and outside to shopping for antiques and refinishing furniture, Dolores was always busy. She worked as a bookkeeper in NJ for almost 20 years. At 75, she moved to Marco Island, FL where she lived close to her daughter, Victoria, and son-in-law, Gary E. Beebe (now deceased). She bought a VW convertible and drove around town enjoying all that life could bring. In her later years, she spent more time drawing and painting in watercolors and oils. She was very talented. She loved convincing others that they needed to take her shopping. 

In August of 2022, Dolores moved into assisted living where she charmed staff with her antics. While there, she went into Hospice care. Hospice is absolutely the most wonderful organization. The staff are truly angels on earth. Mom was well taken care of by Hospice and the staff of her assisted living facility. 
Those who knew Dolores will tell you she was one of a kind, truly a character and very easy to love. She could make you laugh. She enjoyed being the center of attention and being pampered by everyone she met. Many who knew her over the years called her Mom or gave her loving nicknames like Baby Dori. 
Dolores had a wonderful and full life. She was loved and will be missed by many. 

A memorial will be held in NJ where she will be buried with her husband.
