Dolores
A. Moss, 82, of Poplar Grove, IL, died Thursday, May 23, 2019 surrounded by her
family. Dolores was born October 3, 1936, to Lawrence Keith and Augusta Marie
(Stichweh) Marcellus in Pocatello, ID. She married the love of her life, Thomas
R. Moss, on January 10, 1959 in Belvidere, IL. Dolores obtained her R.N. license
in nursing at Holy Cross Central School of Nursing in South Bend, IN. She
continued her education, earning a B.S. in Nursing from Rockford College. Her nursing
career spanned all areas of the field, from OB/GYN to Geriatrics. She was proud
of her work and remained working as a registered nurse for 52 years, to include
a licensed administrator at Maple Crest and Northwoods Care Centers, before
retiring.

Dolores
loved children, animals, knitting, and crocheting as hobbies but was truly dedicated
to her family and genuinely enjoyed helping other people. She did her fair
share of volunteer work, including being a nurse at St. James, a scout leader,
and a foster parent for the disabled. Dolores loved to share her knowledge with
others by teaching CCD classes, training physical therapy assistants and certified
nursing assistants throughout her administrative career. Dolores also had a
passion for music. She played the piano and organ and loved to sing. She had a beautiful
voice and sang in church for many years.
