They subsequently returned to Kent to build a home and later moved to Seattle where they were members of Christ the King parish. She and Bud enjoyed gardening and travelling through Europe and Asia and the occasional trip to Reno.
Bud died in 2006. Bud and Dolly had a son Steve who died in 1962.
Dolly leaves behind a daughter, Mitzie (Marilyn) and son-in-law Bruce Goodrich, a sister Emily Helterline and numerous nieces and nephews. After moving to Poulsbo, she had been a resident of Montclair Park Assisted Living and, at the time of her death, resided at Martha & Mary.
