Dolores McGinley Findley, age 91 passed away December 29, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones in Grant City, Missouri.
Dolores McGinley Findley was born March 20, 1933 near Gentry, Missouri to William and Naomi McGinley. She accepted Christ as her personal savior at the age of 13, in a small country church and spent her life as an extension of the love of Christ in every person in her life.
She graduated from High School in Stanberry, Missouri in 1951. Later that year she married Richard (Dick) Findley, with whom she had 4 children: sons, David, Dallas and Dale and daughter Dawn. She spent most of her years on the farm and was a dedicated wife and mother, ensuring she raised her children to love the Lord and instilling the values of compassion, kindness and empathy. After Dick passed away she moved to town to retire. After several years she started traveling with her cherished companion Denzel Henry.
Together they shared a passion for travel and embarked on many adventures to the West. From tulip pastures blowing in the wind, to the sands of the West Coast. She embraced every moment this life had to offer her with a heart full of adventure and lungs full of laughter.
Dolores is preceded in death by her husband Dick (Richard) Findley, parents, twin sister Doris Parker, sisters; Katheryn Sorensen Riley and Ina McCann, daughters-in-law, Sandy Findley and Becky Findley, great-grandsons Riley Findley and Clayton Loubey.
Surviving are sons; David Findley of Grant City, MO, Dallas (Jackie) Findley of Gentry, MO, Dale (Patti) Findley of Albany, MO, daughter; Dawn (Tom) Givens of Dallas, TX, sister, Karen Woolsey of Grant City, MO, 6 grandsons and 6 granddaughters. She was also blessed by numerous great-grandchildren.
For anyone lucky enough to know her, we will always remember the deep belly laughs brought on by her sense of humor, the light in her eyes when surrounded by those she loved and the hands that were always there to lend help in time of need. While she was an angel among us, Heaven was waiting for her. We will forever be thankful for the time we had together and while there will be emptiness, we know every time the sun shines, the tulips blow or the cardinals sing- she’s here with us.
