On September 12, 1949 she married Delos Frank of Lyle. They started their life together as farmers in the Lyle and Rose Creek area. In the early years Dolores was a partner in operating the farm whether running for parts or supplies, taking care of the chickens or delivering seed to the seed customers. This was all done while taking care of 5 unruly farm boys and a daughter. After the kids left home, she went back to school and earned her associate degree in marketing, and worked various jobs in that field. She and Delos were very active in many community activities including Farm Bureau, The Republican party, Lions and Lioness clubs, 4H leader, Library Board and many others.  She was also member of Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Lyle. She and Delos enjoyed and took many trips across the US and elsewhere. A favorite project of hers was her Genealogy. Dolores and Delos incorporated the research in their many trips.
