She graduated with the class of 1941 and after her graduation, she began work at St. Catherine Hospital as an Aide, hoping to become a nurse but instead met the love of her life, Paul Busch from Windsor, Colorado at a German Church Conference in Ft.

In 2009, Dolorous moved in with her daughter and in 2011 they moved to Oklahoma.
Dolorous was a devoted mother and homemaker and later worked at Sunnyview Church of the Nazarene as a church secretary for eight years. An avid Avon sales rep, she distributed their products to friends, family and customers for over twelve years.
Her greatest joy and blessing were her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
