Delores Marie LaFave was born on January 8, 1931 in Edina, Minnesota to Roger and Gladys Borey.  After a long and beautiful life, died shortly before midnight on March 18, 2021 at the age of 90 following a long battle with cancer.  It was difficult to battle, but mom did it with dignity, grace and a little stubbornness sprinkled in. 

Mom’s life was full. She held a long career in dental offices and traveled all over the world collecting many treasures, along with stories of her many adventures.

Dee was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, L. Richard (Dick) LaFave,two brothers, Richard and Roger.

She leaves behind her children, Linda Clay, Michael LaFave and Lisa (Dale) Freerks (Not to mention her dear Teresa who was her favorite kid). Our mother will live on in all our memories and hearts, she was a witty, artistic, open hearted woman. We will miss our mom, knowing we were loved unconditionally.

Dee was so proud of having 7 grandsons and always wanted to hear everything going on in their lives, we made sure to bring any new baby for her to hold and she would rock them for hours. She leaves behind her grandsons, John Adam (Sara), Ryan (Jess) Nathan, Joshua (Konny), Matthew (Melissa) Christopher (Kayla) and Jeffrey (Lauren)

The great grandchildren came so quick it was hard for any of us to keep up but they are Garrison 12, Adelaide 11, Ryan 9, Roosevelt 8, Leighton 6, Ryan 7, and James 5, Liam 6, Noah 5 and Elias 1.

A funeral Mass is being planned for those who loved Mom and supported the family through the past several years.

The family is forever grateful to Hospice of Snohomish County, Kris, Tatianna, Nicole, Penny and all of the caregivers who were there for us. We also want to thank moms loving caregiver Marguerite, who she loved so much.
