Dolly, age 76, passed on June 17, 2022, peacefully in her sleep.
She was born June 17, 1946 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Willard Ruth and Erma Emmons. She was the first-born girl. She loved all her siblings Buck, Mick, Frank, Butch, Reney, Wendy, Ron, and Montie.
Growing up Dolly loved playing house, going to the sock hop and anytime she was with her family.
She met the love of her life Raymond Hultgren May of 1967 and they were married the following February in Sandy, Utah. They raised 3 children together Shelly, Jody, and Mark. Dolly loved her children to no end. She also loved her 10 grandkids and 7 great-grandkids with her whole heart. Dolly and Raymond were married just shy of 50 years when Raymond passed in October of 2017.
If you were lucky enough to know Dolly you knew she loved you. She also loved to crochet, cook amazing meals, make dollies with cloths, fish with her family, dancing and she loved anything Betty Boop. If you were really lucky, she would make you a batch of her famous hot sauce with a whole pork chop bone in every jar she made with love. Dolly always showed her love in so many ways but most of all she loved to serve people in any way she could. She loved everyone she came in contact with good or bad. She always saw a way to help, love and take care of all people.
Dolly loved music, she enjoyed listening to her brothers Butch and Montie and nephew Bobby play in their family band. Elvis was a favorite and she loved to yoo hoo and yee haw to her very favorite Alan Jackson.
Her grand kids loved her smile, laugh, when she sang along with her old songs she loved, her crazy shopping trips, her blankets, her love for them and for life.
