IN MEMORY OF DOLORES SANCHEZ

We would like to extend our belated condolences to family and friends of Dolores Sanchez, a longtime Strawberry volunteer who passed away earlier this year.

Dolores’ volunteer history with Strawberry dates back at least 30 years, split nearly equally between two crews. She spent her Camp Mather years working an overnight shift on Drink Booth Night Patrol before joining Staff Check-In when Strawberry moved to the Nevada County Fairgrounds in 2014. She is described as being reserved, but funny, and is remembered for cracking up her crewmates with the subtlety of her humor and the timing of her hilarious comments. She will be missed at Strawberry, on Staff Check-In, and by those who knew her from Sonora.

A celebration of life will be held for Dolores Sanchez at NOON on Sunday, March 15, 2026 at the Sonora Moose Lodge in Sonora, CA.
