Dolores Volk Waggoner, age 88, peacefully returned to her Heavenly Father on March 19, 2025. She was born June 12, 1936 in Inglewood, California to Frank Xavier Volk Jr. and Dora Evelyn Graham. She married her loving husband, Robert LeRoy Waggoner on August 16, 1969 who preceded her in death in 2001.

Dolores was known as Dee, Mom, Grandma, and Aunt Susie. She loved and cared for her family and was proud of her children and their accomplishments. Dolores was always the first one who shared the good news of the family with everyone. She was one to keep her commitments and would always follow through with any task she was given. Dolores had an incredible memory and could remember birth dates and special anniversaries of all her children and grandchildren. Serving her family was a joy to her.

Throughout her life, Dolores loved serving in the Relief Society and would spend hours serving those around her whether it be baking cookies or ministering to those in need. She loved serving as the Relief Society President several times in her Spanish Fork ward. Dolores knew the power of prayer. In times of trials, everyone knew that Grandma Dee was praying for them which gave great comfort to our family.

Dolores loved living in Spanish Fork and was always grateful for the beautiful landscape that surrounded her. She would often say how blessed she was to live in such a wonderful place. Dolores enjoyed her bird feeders on her patio and watching the deer wander through her yard. She was the heart of our family–life here on earth won’t be the same without her. She loved her parents and was proud of her pioneer heritage.

We can imagine the grand reunion she is having with those who have gone on before her, including her parents, her two brothers, Marvin and Ronald, and stepson Craig. She was truly a noble and great one who endured to the end. Our families here on earth will be forever grateful to have called her our loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

Dolores is survived by her four children: Laurie (John) Padget, Sandy, Utah; Donna (Bradley) Hall, currently serving a mission in Laie, Hawaii; Susan (Greg) Jurkatis, Spanish Fork, Utah; and David (Steffani) Waggoner, Spanish Fork, Utah; 13 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren; and her loving companion, her cat Sparky.

A viewing will be held on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, from 11:30-12:30 pm at Walker Funeral Home in Spanish Fork, Utah. Following the viewing, a graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm at Spanish Fork City Cemetery.

We are grateful to Maple Creek Home, Health and Hospice and Legacy House Spanish Fork for their love and care on our mother’s behalf.
