Dolores I. Gens, 87, of Patton, passed away Tuesday at Celebration Villa of Altoona. She was born in Patton, daughter of the late Michael E. Sr. and Rozella M. (Sisco) Fedor.

Surviving are four children: Gary (Della), Wayne (Kim), Edward (Denise) and Lisa (David) Woodley; seven grandchildren: Lisa (Jeff) Kubalek, Haley (Brett) Donoughe, Zack (Kaitlin) Woodley, Grant, Drake and Abby Gens and Todd (Gina) Malligan; two great-grandchildren, Reagan Kubalek and Ryan Malligan.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, George E. Gens, on Dec. 27, 2011; a brother, Michael; and sister, Rose Marie Ball. Dolores was the last member of her immediate family.

Dolores loved people. She enjoyed helping people in need and making people around her just a little bit happier. She had worked as a parent involvement specialist at Cambria County Head Start until her retirement. She was also passionately involved with the St. Vincent de Paul Society Food Bank in Patton for more than 30 years with her husband, George. She served two sessions on the St. Peter Lempke Council, and four years on the St. Vincent de Paul Board of Directors in Johnstown. Over the years, she was also a spiritual director, home visitor, nursing home visitor and performed communion calls. Her family remembers her as someone who has never met a stranger.

Dolores loved to wear purple.

Friends will be received from 9 to 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 29, 2022, at Gibbons Funeral Home, 1688 Liberty St., Ashville.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Monday at Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Patton, by Benedictine Fathers. Committal at St. Lawrence Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Patton St. Vincent de Paul Society in Dolores’ memory.
