Dolly was the sweetest woman. She had an awesome sense of humour and really got so much joy in life and shared it with us. The world will be a sad place without her. Love you Dolly. - Posted by: Laurie Mann (Niece ) on: Mar 26, 2021

I’ve known the Mccaffrey family for a long time. I was so happy to hear that Mr. Mccaffrey was to marry Dolly. She made him happy and he made her happy. My sincere condolences to the entire family. - Posted by: Patty Soumakian (Friend of the Mccaffrey’s ) on: Mar 26, 2021

Was blessed to know this beautiful, soul... we used to go to visit her and Eddie and Randy & Debbie when I was small when we lived in Winnipeg, I don't have lots of memories of those times, I remember more our family gatherings in Lavallee with all the sisters & their extended families together. Al & Dolly visited, us lots in LaVallee... even though we lost touch in her later years, I will always remember her quick smile, amazing laugh & hugs. In my memory & heart Auntie Dolly - Posted by: Debbie Mann (Great neice ) on: Mar 26, 2021
