Dolores H. Healey, 90, left this world peacefully on June 18, 2024, after a long illness.

Dolores was born to Clinton and Evelyn (Cole) Allerton on January 31, 1934, in Saugerties, NY. She grew up in Poughkeepsie with her mother, Evelyn, and stepdad, John Wysocki, along with her brother, Donald Allerton, and sisters, Jacqueline and Sharon Allerton.

Dolores was a graduate of Poughkeepsie High School, Class of 1953. She excelled in typing and shorthand, which led to a career in secretarial and bookkeeping positions. Mom would always comment however her favorite job was being Office Manager at the WHVW Radio Station back in the 1970's!

Known to so many as "Aunt Dolores," she will be fondly remembered for her Community Day celebrations, her famous Christmas coffee cakes, and her Betty Boop collection! Mom enjoyed crossword puzzles and back in the day twirling around the dance floor with her husband, Richard (Dick).

Dolores is also survived by many special nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She loved and enjoyed them all, along with her special cousin, Joan Heiser; friends, Judy Greaves and Joan Thorn, and niece, Keely Arico.
