Mildred May Hodges was born on February 4, 1944, in Satana, Kansas to Leslie and Mildred Hitchcock.  She grew up and went to school in Satana and attended Satana High School. She was married on May 25, 1961, in Clayton, New Mexico to Robert Hodges and they made their home in Denver, Colorado.  They lived in Denver for fifty-five years and in 1994 they moved to Clearmont, Wyoming where Dolly was a cook at the Red Arrow.  They continued living in Clearmont until her death.

She was a quilter and enjoyed needlework.  She was an excellent cook, but her passion was spending time with her family. Dolly enjoyed the outdoors, camping, waterskiing, and archery hunting and was a fantastic rifle shot.  She was an avid archer and declined an offer to be a sponsor for Bear Archery. She is survived by her husband Bob Hodges of Clearmont; two daughters, Sarah Carlson and her husband Kevin of Brighton, Colorado, and Julie Sinclair of Berthoud, Colorado; one daughter-in-law Maureen Hodges of Columbia, Missouri; one sister Lola Caldwell of Canyon City, Colorado; seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents, one son Robert Hodges Jr., one brother Leroy Hitchcock and one sister Betty Janes.
