She was born September 15, 1929 to Lawrence and Edna Schletty in Concord Township. Dolores was the oldest of six siblings. After graduating from West Concord High School in 1947, she sought employment at Mayo Clinic. She also met the love of her life, Edwin Olaf Roberts, and they were married in West Concord on September 8, 1950. There Dolores and Ed established their home on the Roberts family farm, where they became life-long members of the community and raised their two daughters, Mary Kay and Betty Ann. Dolores enthusiastically embraced the roles of homemaker and motherhood, exceling as a hostess and a seamstress. She was an excellent cook and baker, becoming highly skilled in decorating cakes and making candies for special occasions. Dolores gardened and was fond of planting summer flowers. She painted decorative ceramic pieces, enjoyed knitting and experimented with other needle work. During this period of her life, Dolores was very active in her church, in the community, and in the lives of her daughters, consistently supporting their interests. With friends, she and Ed planned weekend family camping outings. Dolores was a devoted wife and mother, a loyal friend, and a committed daughter and sister, serving as a caregiver to her mother and siblings. Family was always an integral part of her life. After her daughters left their family home, Dolores began offering day care to several grateful families. These children and their parents became lifelong friends.
