Dolores was a woman of unwavering faith, quiet strength, and boundless love. A gifted seamstress, she had a remarkable talent for creating beautiful things with her hands. Whether mending a cherished garment, sewing for the church, or crafting for her family, every stitch reflected her patience, generosity, and attention to detail. Her work was more than a skill, it was an expression of her love for others.

Her faith was the foundation of her life. As a devoted and active member of her church, she faithfully served her congregation with a willing heart, offering kindness, encouragement, and compassion to everyone she met. She found great joy in worship, fellowship and living out her Catholic faith. Above all else, Dolores treasured her family. She was a devoted mother and wife, proud grandmother and great grandmother, and a cherished friend whose greatest happiness came from spending time with those she loved. She celebrated life's milestones, offered comfort during difficult times, and created countless memories that her family will hold close forever. Her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional love.

She leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, hard work, and selflessness that will continue to inspire all who knew her. Though her presence will be deeply missed, her example of grace, compassion, and unwavering devotion to her family and her faith will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

She is survived by her daughter, Tracie Gravouilla and husband Willie, her sons, Todd Gravouilla and his wife Dawn, and Dodd Gravouilla and his wife Rachel; her grandchildren, Chazz Cantu and wife Riza, Leah Richard and husband Cody, Chase Gravouilla and wife Chelsy, Chancie Venable and husband Dustin, Hollie Babin and husband Jared, Trey Gravouilla and wife Maci, Abbey Babin and husband Mason, Cade Gravouilla, and Payton Champagne and fiance Marty Thibodeaux; her great-grandchildren Brylon Richard, Cole Meche, Aubrielle Meche, Mathis Richard, Sebastian Cantu, Elise Champagne, Cruz Gravouilla, Sean Cantu, Riley and Marley Babin, and Aria and Mila Gravouilla; and her siblings, Sandra Schexnider, Linda Huval, Pat Taylor and Ginger Calais.
