Dolores Annetta was born in Pasadena, California, the oldest child to Donald Edward Bland and Melrose Mildred Palmer Bland on April 20, 1947. Later, the family moved to Los Angeles, California where Dolores and her sister, Avis Louise, lived the majority of their lives.
Growing up, the family were members of Lewis Metropolitan Christian Methodist Episcopal Church on Western Avenue in LA. Dolores enjoyed participating in any and all available youth activities and conferences, so much so, that she along with two of her friends; Phyllis and Jessica, were known as the Three Musketeers of the church.
Dolores attended West Vernon Avenue Elementary School, John Adams Junior High School and Manual Arts High School; where she met and married her high school sweetheart, Mack Henry Hall. Their union produced two children: Daria Renee Hall and Donyale Theressa Hall. Though the union was dissolved, their friendship continued throughout her life. Unable to play tennis and dance without occasional shortness of breath, her doctor diagnosed her with Sarcoidosis in January 2020. The inflammatory disease severely deteriorated her lung functions and contributed to a lack of appetite, energy and mobility, making it impossible to breathe.
Dolores' father Donald Edward Bland and mother Melrose Mildred Palmer Bland preceded her in death.
She leaves behind her beloved daughters Daria Renee Hall and Donyale Theressa Hall; her sister Avis Louise Yarborough and a host of other family, friends and loved ones who thought of her like a mother.
