Proctor High School in 1951.  She worked as a secretary for General
Electric where she met and married William P. Cougan.  William 
passed away in 1986.  During her children's younger years, she was
a stay at home Mom.  She was always there for her family; morning,
noon and night.  She later worked part-time at a family store,
"Oneida Grocery."  She moved on to become a Math Aide in the Utica
School System, where she not only taught her students math skills
but also gave them love that many didn't get at home.  She retired
in 1999, Dolores loved life.  Throughout her life, she was very
active as a wife, mother, grandmother and an outdoor enthusiast.
She was an active "Room Mother" and "Scout Mom" where she 
volunteered in order to spend time with her kids.  She was very
athletic, even through her illnesses.  Up until the current year,
she biked, hiked, downhill and cross country skied, canoed and
kayaked.  It wasn't unusual for her to do a strenuous hike or 
bicycle 30 miles or more in a day.  After the loss of her husband,
she joined the "Tramp & Trail" club and soon found herself part of
a wonderful extended family of friends.  Through her outdoor
activities, she met Ray Morse, whom she married on October 12, 
2002. Ray became her guardian angel. She was loved by all. She made
friends with people of all ages and walks of life.  If the number 
of friends a person has is a measure of one's life, she lived life
to the fullest.  She was always very close to God.  She absolutely
adored and lived for her grandchildren.  She taught them, loved
them and spoiled them.  She was happiest when she was with them and
so very proud to ski with them.  They will always cherish memories
of their "Mudder."  Dolores is survived by her devoted husband, Ray;
daughters, Karen and her husband David Jadhon of Anchorage, AK, Jan
Cougan of New York City, Christine and her husband Lawrence Schram

nieces and nephews from the Cougan family.  She was predeceased by
