Dolores passed away on Saturday, March 26, 2022, at Fallon Medical Complex in Baker, MT.

She was born October 27, 1935, the third daughter of Jacob and Anna (Koenig) Quincer. Dolores grew up and attended school in Plevna, graduating as Salutatorian from Plevna High School in 1953.

Dolores met Clarence Schell at a school-house dance north of Plevna in 1950. Clarence joined the U.S. Navy, serving from 1950 to 1954. While Clarence was in the service Dolores worked at the Hospital in Miles City, First National Bank and at the Fallon County Times Office in Baker.

When Clarence returned from the service, Dolores was working for the Fallon County Times. They had quite a courtship from 1949 to 1955 when he finally persuaded her to marry him. They had an early spring wedding on March 20, 1955.

Life was great together. In 1958, after worrying they weren’t going to have children Clarence & Dolores had their first born, Kenneth Jacob. In 1959 along came Julie Ann. Angela René followed in 1961. Their 4th child, Rick Allen completed their family in 1963. That same year they bought a locker and meat processing plant and called it Schell Meat Service.

In 1964 the family built a new home, pink house with white brick. In 1968 Reynolds Corporation approached Clarence on becoming their manager and around 1975 Clarence & Dolores bought the Shopping Center.

Clarence and Dolores worked side by side creating a family business in the Reynolds Grocery. They also made investments in real estate. Dolores was a real asset, doing the book work, billing, collecting, but shined best at customer service. She had the ability to make everyone feel special. She was the quintessential mom, grandma, great-grandma and friend. Her faith showed in everything that she did. She loved Jesus and taught us all about the Bible and how to live for Him. She always knew the right thing to say at the right time. Family was everything to her. She would defend us to the end, and she made sure we knew how much we were loved.

Dolores was very active in American Lutheran Church, Bible Studies, ALC Choir, ALCW, Golden Girls, and loved spending time with her sisters, family and with numerous friends.
