IN THE CARE OF
Calvary Hill Funeral Home & Cemetery
Dolores was born to Francisca and Antonio Mendoza on October 14, 1935 in
a boxcar train in Nacogdoches, LA and was the second oldest of seven
children. Her family and friends affectionately referred to her as Lola.
She grew up in Farmers Branch, TX and attended Farmers Branch Elementary
then went on to R.L. Turner High School where her education was cut
short due to illness in the family.
Being migrant workers Lola picked cotton in Farmers Branch and traveled
with her family to Indiana to pick tomatoes. In her teens she worked at
Lone Star Ceramics in Farmers Branch. Her later years she worked at
Westvaco Envelope Corp in Dallas, TX where she met the love of her life,
Ramon Jaramillo. They married in 1980 and moved to Lewisville, TX.
Shortly after Ray’s passing in 1986 Lola retired from Westvaco. She then
moved to The Colony to care for her mother Francisca and brother Jessie
Joe.
Lola lived a strong Catholic faith and was part of the Cursillo
movement. Her faith in God and the belief of the Holy Virgen’s
intercession helped her through many health challenges that she faced.
To being diagnosed early on with Diabetes, a Breast Cancer survivor and
facing her later years battling with Dementia. Even though her memory
had faded we know her love for her Lord and her family was beyond all
else. Dolores is preceded in death by: her parents Antonio & Francisca
Mendoza, husband Ramon Jaramillo and brother Jessie Joe Mendoza.
She is survived by her sisters, Aurora Benavidez of Dallas, TX, Mary

Carmen Mendoza of Carrollton, TX, and John Mendoza and his wife, Sonnie
of Plano, TX; as well as his many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and
nephews, extended family members and friends.
Our family would like to express how thankful we are to her sisters that
cared for her on a daily basis when the time came that she was unable to
care for herself. Brada, and Lupe are her Angels on earth that made sure
that their sweet sister received the tenderness of care in her last
years living with dementia.
