OBITUARY: Dolores Jean (Relick) Zeilfelder passed away at UPMC St. Margaret on Wednesday, February 2, 2022. She was born in Pittsburgh on November 13, 1932, to the late Mary and John Relick of Millvale. Dolores trained at Saint Francis School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse and worked in both hospital and public health settings, a profession which she loved and which was reflective of the compassionate, caring nature she displayed in all facets of her life. Those who knew her will attest that she led a life where generosity, loyalty, kindness, humor and, above all, love, were the true hallmarks.

On January 21, 1956, Dolores married her true love, William G. Zeilfelder. They shared a happy, devoted life which came to include three beloved daughters: Nanci (Alfred) Hess, Carol (Jerome) Wolcott, and Marianne (David) Blake. Dolores was a doting Grandmother to William (Taylor) Hess, Alyssa (Bob) Carney, Abigail (Matt) Dowell, Vincent Hess, Allison Blake, and McKenzie Blake. Dolores also found much joy in her Great grandchildren: Carlyle Hess, Hayes Hess, Emory Dowell and William Carney.

Dolores had a warm, loving relationship with all of her sisters and brothers-in-law and cherished her many nieces and nephews, all of whom knew that she was at the ready with the wit, wisdom and affection they appreciated throughout their lives with her.

Memorial donations may be made to the Harmar Village Activities Department, 715 Freeport Road, Cheswick, PA 15024 or to Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1719 Mt. Royal Blvd., Glenshaw 15116.
