Dolores was born in Grand Forks, ND on December 19, 1929 to Edward and Ellen (Hughes) Morwood. She married Vincent Lawrence Carroll on November 14, 1949 on the Morwood family farm in Forest River, ND. They enjoyed 58 years of marriage in various states and locations. Most of their lives together were spent farming, until they retired in 1986. She graduated from Forest River Public School. Dolores also attended the Minneapolis Institute of Art for a year and another year at Aakers Business College in Grand Forks, ND. In 1998, they moved to China Spring, TX. She was a member of the China Spring United Methodist Church. Dolores loved spending time with her family, especially being with her sister. They shared many conversations over coffee and enjoyed several trips to Las Vegas. She loved holiday cooking and had a heart for dogs. Dolores was also known for having big beautiful gardens. In her latter years, Dolores would spend most of her days getting lost in a sea of books. We are thankful she was able to keep her quick wit until her last days.
