 On Sunday, March 12, 2023, Delores R. Everett passed away peacefully at the age of 90. She was the widow of Edward R. Everett who passed away on December 21, 2021 to whom she was married for 57 years.
Delores was born in Scranton, Pa. on August 26, 1932 to the late Samuel and Mary Sokolowsky. She was a graduate of West Scranton High School. She spent the first part of her life as a city girl until her marriage to Ed and subsequent move to Lenox, Pa in 1964. Despite her gentle nature and kind-hearted character, she was always known to her friends and family as Tiger. Throughout her lifetime, Tiger worked various jobs and donated her time to friends and family. Her selflessness was evidenced by her unrelenting care of her ailing husband to the very end, just as she had done for her mother years prior. Delores was also preceded in death by her brothers John and Joseph Sokolowsky and her sisters Helen Mokis and Marion McMyne. She is survived by her two children Lori Doyle and Ed Everett; her grandson Michael Doyle; her daughter-in-law Claudia and sisters Pauline Sokolowsky and Gloria Polishan. This Tiger was one of the gentlest creatures to ever walk the earth. Her lessons of loyalty, commitment and perseverance will live on through those whose lives she touched. She will be dearly missed.
