Dolores Marie Striegel was born October 27, 1919 in Harper, Iowa, one of fifteen children born to Sylvester and Ollie (Clarahan) Striegel. She was united in marriage to Elbert Lehman on July 31, 1940 in Dubuque, Iowa. He preceded her in death on May 23, 1973. She later married Richard Kelly in June 1994. He preceded her in death on February 18, 1995.

Dolores had been a volunteer at the Davenport Museum and the Bettendorf Public Library. She was a member of the Ladies of the Moose and the Museum Guild. Traveling, playing Bridge and watching the Cubs were a few of the things Dolores loved to do, but she especially cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren.
Memorials can be made to Gilda’s Club of the Quad Cities.
Those left to honor her memory include children, Alice Janssen, Rock Island, Maggie (Mike) Hoiseth, Davenport, and Elbert “Butch” Lehman, Davenport; grandchildren, Kimberly (Harold) Vaughan, Michael Janssen, Lisa Rusk, Christopher Lehman, Jessica (Jeremiah) Birdsall, and Annette (Josh) Martinez.
She was preceded in death by her parents, fourteen siblings, husbands, Elbert Lehman and Richard Kelly, and a son-in-law, Kenneth Janssen. May they rest in peace.
