Dolores (Dolly) Sielatycki went to be with her Lord & Savior on Thursday, March 29, 2018. She was greeted in heaven by her husband John, and youngest daughter Lora Yates.
She was sent off with hugs, kisses, laughter, and stories of the past by her children Vicki & Mark, Gary & Anita, Brian & Angie, Bruce & Karen, Jamie & Laura, Tom & Danielle, Pam and Tonje along with 13 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren and 2 more great-grandchildren that will be coming in the next few months. If you know Dolly, then chances are you’ve been invited to her house for a meal, a coffee, a drink, or dessert. Maybe you’ve tasted her famous homemade bread or chocolate chip cookies. She generously opened her house daily as a beacon of community, laughter, and love. Neighbors, family, and friends piled in around that dining room table. Dolly would always find another plate or another chair or put on one more pot of coffee. Everyone felt welcome, always. She has a servant’s heart and was notorious for putting the needs of others above her own – emulating the “die to self” love that we see Jesus express in the Bible. And that’s where she learned it. When asked about the secret to life just a few days ago, she answered without hesitation: “Read your Bible and love Jesus.” It was her wish that the testimony of her life would encourage everyone to follow her lead to love and serve Jesus and to love and serve others well.
