Talk:Dolores Niskanen

In December 1952 she performed in Sault Saint Marie under her maiden name, Vuori, so she must have married sometime between 1952 and 1956.

This means her date of birth was likely something like 1937 at the latest.

On 10 March 1956 she performed a dance in "Port Wellerisa", Ontario (i.e. Port Weller, a neighbourhood in St Catherine's), under her married name, so this likely pushes her date of birth back to at least 1938.

Many condolences. For many years I attended aerobic classes with her by Dolores and also had the joy of participating in Dolores's fashion show fundraisers with her modelling clothes. Her and I have had many laughs over those years. She was such a fun and cheerful woman. Always enjoyed her company. Indeed she was a wonderful person and will be misses by many.

RIP Anne
