Dolores was born on October 14th, 1931 in Philadelphia, PA to William and Mafalda Masten (née Jannotta). Shemarried Valentine, home from the Army, in 1946. Over 13 years in Philadelphia and Warminster, the couple welcomed 4 children, and, in the many years following, 11 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Her later years were spent living with her daughter Angela and grandson William.  Her children remember her as a kind and patient mother who encouraged them to love their family and pursue their goals.  

Dolores was accomplished at crafting and often made blankets for the births of her grandchildren. She was a generous individual who loved to travel.  She was an active and dedicated member of the Church and spent countless days and trips with her friends in the Seniors.

Above all else, Dolores valued her family.  She gave all of herself to her family and cherished every holiday, conversation over coffee, and phone calls together with them. Over the week in the hospital, Dolores was surrounded day and night by family. One of the last things she said to her family when asked if she loved her children, she replied “Of course I love you. You are my family, and nothing is more important than my family.” She will be missed by all.
