Dolores Alwood’s life ended peacefully on Wednesday morning, December 9, 2015, at the Queen Anne Manor in Seattle where she had resided for the past year. She was 93.

Dolores was born at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Aberdeen, Washington on August 4, 1922, to Matthew and Ella (Murphy) Kerr.

She attended grade school in Brady and graduated from Montesano High School in 1940.

Following her high school graduation, Dolores initially secured a position working for the then president of the Grays Harbor Business College, partly in exchange for tuition, but then decided on a career change and went to work at St.Joseph's Hospital in the diet kitchen. She lived at the hospital, worked hard for $40 a month and waited for Saturday night to head to the Dreamland in Hoquiam to dance. It was there that she met her future husband, Horace Alwood. Therelationship flourished until, like many young men at that time, Horace joined the Army and headed to California for training. Shortly after he departed, two young women, Dolores and Vivian, one of Horace’s sisters, boarded a bus forCalifornia. Dolores married Horace at Minter Field in Bakersfield, California on July 29, 1942. She then traveled with Horace during his many training posts until he was deployed overseas. Returning to Aberdeen, Dolores attended GraysHarbor Business College and worked at the Assessor’s Office in Montesano.
