Dolores Forbes Streck was born August 1, 1917 and passed away March 16, 2008.
Dolores was born in Parsons, Kansas, one of eleven children of Patrick and Mary Elizabeth Forbes.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, she married the love of her life, William (Bill) Streck on December 27, 1941. While Bill served overseas in WWII, Dolores worked as a long distance telephone operator. Upon Bill's return, they settled in Parsons where their children, William, Patrick, Mary Lou, John Michael, and Teresa, were born. They moved to Oklahoma City in 1954.
Dolores was an active and devout member of Christ the King Church where she was secretary from 1960 to 1968. She also worked at the Archdiocesan office and Pastoral Council. After retirement, she was a Mercy Auxiliary volunteer for 20 years.
Her family meant the world to her and with the birth of her grandchildren, she became known as "Nana" to all. Our Nana was a woman of great faith, strength and determination.

She is survived by her sister, Marge Brandt of OH her children, William Streck and wife Karen of Cooperstown, NY, Patrick of Warrenburg, MO, Mary Lou Welborn and husband Lindy of Wichita Falls, TX, and Teresa Luetkemeyer and husband Tom of OKC.
