Dolores Eleanor Artim
February 11, 1936 — February 1, 2023
Dolores Eleanor Artim, 86, of Weatherly PA, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on February 1, 2023.
Dolores is survived by her devoted family; daughters Mary Lou Artim (companion Kenny) of Weatherly, PA, Lori Artim Mann (husband Charles) of Hillsborough, NC; daughter in-law Kristin Artim of Torrance, CA; and sons Matthew Artim of Pittsburgh,
PA, Stephen Artim (wife Tammy) of Woodside, CA, and Michael Artim (wife Tracie) of Westfield, NC; her grandchildren whom she cherished, Justin Artim (wife Jennie), Shane Artim (wife Katie), Charlotte Mann, Archer Artim, Logan Artim, Tricia Artim
(husband Josh), and Merritt Artim; and great grandchildren Emerson and Mazzie. She is also survived by her siblings Joan Chernansky and Arthur Searfoss.
Dolores was predeceased by her husband of 53 years, Alvin Artim; son, Alan Artim, parents Arthur and Luella Searfoss, and her siblings, Clark, James, Clyde and Ethel Searfoss.
Dolores was born February 11, 1936, in Weatherly, PA and lived almost her entire life “in the valley.” She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. A graduate of Weatherly High School, Dolores was a homemaker, certified beautician, and started her own small business. She was also an accomplished cook, baker, and seamstress, all of which she greatly enjoyed. Most important to her was being a devoted wife to Alvin and mother to six children. Dolores and Alvin enjoyed their
travels visiting children, grandchildren and friends. They adventured together to Florida, the Outer Banks of NC, Maine, Hawaii, Jamaica, and Italy where they attended a Papal Mass at the Vatican. There are many stories and memories, laughter and tears. Mostly
though, the kindness she shared so freely with everyone she met will always be remembered.
Dolores and Alvin were members of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church of Hazleton, PA.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 AM on February 8, 2023 at Holy Rosary Catholic Church located at 250 South Poplar St., Hazleton, PA 18201.
Friends will be received at Philip Jeffries Funeral Home (Weatherly) on Tuesday February 7, 2023 from 5 to 7:00 PM.
Interment will be in St. Matthews Church Cemetery, Weatherly, PA.
