Dolores “Mercedes” Cruz, 95, was ushered into the arms of her Savior on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at home surrounded by her loved ones.
She was born in Honduras on June 18, 1930, and was the daughter of Ubence Calix Cubas and Dolores (Cabañas) Cruz. In 1949, she married Gonzalo Orellana, who preceded her in death in 1972.
Dolores was the pinnacle of a Proverbs 31 woman, a virtuous wife, mother, sister, and grandmother to her family. She lived and taught her family how to strive after God’s best, serving others as He has called us to do. There is no doubt that she heard her Savior say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
Dolores enjoyed singing, gardening, and spending time with God’s creation through birdwatching. She attended New Wine Church in Nappanee.
