Dolores Mae Hurley passed away on March 8, 2025, at the age of 98. She was born in Oakland, CA, on July 1, 1926, and was raised in Porterville, CA. After raising her family in Fresno and the east Bay Area, she returned to Porterville to care for her mother. Dee retired from the Tulare Co. District Attorney’s Office in 1994 and moved to Susanville in 1995 to be near her daughter.

Dee was a secretary and a homemaker, a fierce supporter of human and civil rights, and women’s empowerment. She was a lifelong sports fan, most passionate about her beloved Raiders, 49ers and the Lakers. Dee was a lover of dogs, spicy food, chocolate, music, dancing, and the poetry of Rod McKuen and Kahlil Gibran. She never left home without her lipstick and costume jewelry; she was the sweetest mom and grandma and we loved her to the moon and back.

Dee lived her life with compassion and empathy, and above all, unconditional love for her family. She is survived by her daughter Nancy (Daryl) Summers; four grandchildren: Janie Story, Laura Kraft, Eric Summers, and Lynnette Stone; and four great grandchildren. A very special thank you to all of the staff at Lassen Nursing and Rehabilitation who cared for Dee over the past 17 years.
