Dolores was employed for many years as a custodian at the University of Notre Dame until her retirement in 1991.  In her spare time, she loved doing crossword puzzles and other puzzle books, keeping up with current events through the newspaper and local broadcast news and eating her favorite treat, Chocolate Charlie.  She was also a longtime and avid fan of Notre Dame sports.

She was a devout catholic and was a longtime member of St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Mishawaka.  Most of all, she will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother and friend to those who had the joy of being in her life.

In her memory, donations may be given to St. Monica’s Catholic church.  To leave a message of condolence for the Krych family, or light a virtual candle in Dolores’ memory, please follow the links provided on the tribute wall tab above.
