Dolores Ann Lovett Hewitt

Written & © Margaret E. Haynes

Dolores Ann Lovett was born July 30, 1930, in Chanute, Neosho Co., Kansas. She was the daughter of Truman Henry Lovett and Beulah Mae (Haynes) Lovett.

She was the only child of her family, and had blonde hair and looked a lot like her father's side of the family. She was always short in stature, her mature height was only about four feet and ten inches. When she was a little girl, her mother always dressed her pretty, for a time she dressed like Shirley Temple in the movies. My sister and Dolores spent a lot of time playing with her doll house that her father made.

Dolores attended Chanute schools and was a graduate of Chanute Senior High School in 1948. For a time she was a baton twirler in the school band. She was our cousin, our dad and Aunt Beulah were brother and sister. My sister Lois B. Haynes spent a lot of time with Dolores, her cousin, in their young years into high school when Aunt Beulah used to drive them to basketball and football games in the Chanute area, and when Dolores and Lois and my other sister Emma had their "famous" Halloween party in junior high years. Her father worked as a conductor for Santa Fe Railroad, and her and Aunt Beulah used to ride the train visiting.

Her and Lois stayed close until Dolores and Jack moved away from Chanute, sometime after 1953. We used to laugh about how Dolores was fanatic about Dr. Pepper, her choice of soda. And she used to come and "borrow" Lois's son, Eric, when he was a baby and then as a little boy, when she had no children.

Dolores Ann Lovett was married on April 17, 1949, in Chanute, Neosho Co., Kansas, to John Calvin "Jack" Hewitt. My sister, Lois Beryle Haynes was her maid of honor. After marriage they lived in Chanute for a while, then in Independence, Kansas, and then in Owasso, Oklahoma.

Dolores and Jack had one daughter, Jacquelynn Kay. Dolores worked for many years for Zebco company in Owasso, a company that makes fishing reels and equipment.

Dolores Ann Hewitt died Sunday, January 3, 1993, in Owasso, Oklahoma. Burial was in Fairview Cemetery, Owasso, Tulsa Co., Oklahoma. Grave location Block & Row A-16, N-S.

Survivors included her husband Jack of the home in Owasso, a daughter Jacquelynn of Tulsa; aunts; uncles; and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her father who died in 1965, and her mother who died in 1987, they are buried in Memorial Park Cemetery, in Chanute, Kansas.

As far as this submitter knows, her husband is living.
