Dolores was born July 23, 1933, in Cates, Ind., daughter of Glenn and Pauline (Thompson) Christie. She married Ronald Roberts on May 22, 1954, in Danville.

Dolores was a graduate of Tangier (Ind.) High School and had worked for Danville Township as a deputy tax assessor for 20-plus years. She enjoyed watching westerns and game shows, reading romance novels, collecting elephants, wearing Chanel No. 5 perfume, but, most of all, spending time with her family at home.
