I met Dolores in 2009 and found her to be a delightfully warm person with always a ready smile. I liked her very much
Jim - i am sorry for your loss - we will all miss her

I remember Mrs Degnan from Wednesday hotdog day at the Village Church and from little league with her son, Jeff. Nothing but positive memories of her. Wish the family well in these tough times.

Dolores's passionate love for her church and her village shaped her life and made all of our lives better.

I grew up living across from the Degnan's on Highland Terrace in the Glen's. Memories of my early youth are filled with Mrs. Degnan. I understand she was the very first to see me the day I came home from the Hospital. Trips to feed Velvet at the stall and searching for Cleo are some that I recall the strongest.
She did love Woodside, I recall her telling me that the old horse drawn wagon that used to carry the May Day Court had been her Dad's from his working days.
She had a strong love for all critters but her favorite were definitely horses and dogs. Facebook was a fun venue for her to showcase pictures of all kinds of animals. I am grateful for the technology that enabled us to stay in contact and communicate in recent years.
Mrs. Degnan you will be very missed and I look forward to the day I will see you again!

Dolores was a friend to all. She worked tirelessly and humbly at the semi annual rummage sales and made everyone feel welcome: volunteers, shoppers and kids alike. Rummage, WVC, and "our town" will sorely miss her and will never be the same.
