Dolores Francis Irvine (nee: Vaught) (1931–2024)

Dolores was most known of her love for God and family. She shared her love of faith with everyone throughout the course of her life. Many people came to know the love of Christ because of the way she lived, loved and treated everyone she came in contact with. Dolores Francis Irvine (Vaught) 93, of West Chester, OH, died of natural causes on November 1. 2024. 

She was born in Dabney, KY in 1931 to Charlie & Lola Vaught, who lived a simple life raising a family that held strong faith, family & fellowship beliefs. 

Dolores attended Pulaski County, KY schools before moving to Cincinnati, OH to raise her children. Dolores worked for Sears Department Stores from 1964-1971 prior to becoming pregnant with her 5th child and becoming a homemaker

Dolores was passionate about her job as Clerk in Fabrics at Sears. Working for the company for 6 years, Dolores was able to share her love of needle work with many local folks.

Though Dolores loved working around the house, spending time with Christian friends, and cooking, Dolores’s favorite role was that as a grandparent.
