Dolores Salazar

Dolores “Lola” Salazar touched the lives of thousands of children in her forty-two years as a teacher in the Laredo Independent School District. After receiving her degree from Texas A&M Kingsville, she returned home to Laredo to share her love of learning.  She could frequently be seen walking to her job at the local elementary school, Santo Niño. A kind and creative person, she went above and beyond for her students creating countless plays, parade props, and costumes for the children of “Santo Baby” Elementary.

She rejoined her parents, Pablo and Enriqueta Salazar and siblings: Bertha, Pablo and Rodelio Salazar, in Heaven on October 18, 2017.
