She was the second of two girls and is survived by her sister Darlene (Allord) Schneider of White Bear Lake, MN. Dolores was raised on the Allord farm in Little Falls and she attended Country School District 7 through 8th grade then continued on to Little Falls Community High School where she graduated in 1958. She met Louie Czech, the love of her life and husband of almost 65 years, while dancing at the Falls Ballroom in 1958. They married on May 16, 1960 at Holy Family Catholic Church, where they were lifelong parishioners. Together, they raised their 4 children: Linda (Bernie) Roberts of Nisswa, Kevin Czech (deceased), Kenneth Czech and Brian Czech of Little Falls. Dolores worked as a teller at First National Bank until 1960 when she became a full-time mother and homemaker. She was the perfect hostess and made everyone feel at home, she would light up a room with her contagious laughter and bright smile. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her faith was at her core and she was always giving of herself as could be seen through her volunteer work at St. Otto’s nursing home for many years. Dolores was also a member of St. Ann’s Christian Women’s Group and St. Joseph’s Mission Circle for 63 years. She had many hobbies, including participating in bowling league, she also enjoyed doing counted cross stitch, polka dancing, garage sales, going to craft sales and especially gardening. Dolores always had a yard filled with stunning flowers, and this was an activity she shared closely with her daughter Linda. Together, they curated beautifully landscaped flower gardens and would drive all around to find the best flowers to brighten up their homes. She also shared this passion with her husband Louie, as they maintained a family fruit and vegetable garden. Dolores and Louie also enjoyed many years spending the month of March in Port Aransas, Texas, where they made some of their dearest friends. They enjoyed many bus trips with Gary Block tours going all across the United States. Louie and Dolores started their life together in marriage in front of the altar at Holy Family Catholic Church and will celebrate their funeral mass together before that same altar bookending their beautiful love story. Dolores was a loving and godly woman, truly a light to all who encountered her. She will be truly missed. Dolores was preceded in death by her parents, Irving and Clarice (Le Doux) Allord; her son, Kevin Czech; her grandson, Kale Czech; her sister-in-law Joan (Chock) Czech; and brothers-in-law Richard Czech and Evarist (Bud) Schneider.
