Obituary of Dolores Guglielmelli

Dolores A. Guglielmelli of Cliffside Park, NJ formally of Hoboken, NJ entered into eternal life on June 4, 2017. She was born on April 23rd, 1930 in Hoboken, NJ.

Family was the absolute most important thing for Dolores. When her mother passed away as a young women and Dolores at the tender age of 17 started working for her father at his businesses. She then went out into the workforce to help support the family so her younger siblings could stay in school.

Dolores lived in the same apartment for over 84 years where she continued to assist her family in any of their endeavors and became an integral part of the Hoboken community and the St. Francis Church.

Dolores was not just an amazing woman, but also a living saint. She touched the lives of anyone she had ever met leaving memories with them that are everlasting. Anyone who knew Dolores described her as joyous, selfless, and a woman with nothing but love in her heart. Although she may have never had any children of her own she cared for everyone as if they were her own. She was a loving and caring caretaker for her family, contemporaries, and even strangers. She could always be relied on to point out the good things in life and never had a bad word to say about anyone.

Guglielmelli, her brother Andrew, her sister-in-law Marie, and her brother-in-law Peter Gallina. Her predeceased brother Father Michael Vincent Guglielmelli and her late sister Antoinette M.
