South Burlington woman was almost always smiling and wished to be remembered as being happy
Dolores Korpos (née Dolores Ursula Zguzenski), born on January 9, 1931, passed away on November 1, 2024 — All Saints Day. Her two daughters, Lynn and Michele, and son-in-law, Roger, were by her side. In addition to her daughters and son-in-law, Dolores is survived by her two grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews and dear friends. She was the second mother/grandmother to many. Dolores was married in 1950 to the love of her life, John Korpos, to whom she was married for 60 years before he passed in 2010. They shared a wonderful life of love, friendship and adventure. Dolores, aka Duz, Duzzie, Mommy Dearest, MOM-Mommy and Mamacita, was almost always smiling and brightened every room she entered. She loved to dance; play cards, Mahjong and Scrabble; and was the life of the party — the hostess with the mostest. She had a soft spot for underdogs and strays. When asked how she wanted to be remembered, she said, “Happy. I want to be remembered as being happy.” Her loving and bright spirit will live on in the many hearts she touched. Our family is very grateful to the wonderful caregivers and staff from Hope Hospice and the Key. They helped us tremendously. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in remembrance of Dolores Korpos to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Disabled American Veterans or a charity of your choice…
