Dolores and Bill were great neighbors when they lived in Sugarland Run. She had such a great sense of humor and was always kind and friendly. The memorial service was beautiful, and my daughter and I laughed and cried as a result of the memories that were shared. My daughter, Karen, also remembered that whenever she happened to ride to BRHS with Dolores, "Mrs. Plant just would not use her seat belt because it would wrinkle her clothes!" We laughed when that same sentiment was shared by one of the speakers at the service. She always had a twinkle in her eye, a smile on her face, and a friendly and happy greeting for EVERYONE! She will be missed so much.

My neighbor across the street. Best, most memorable Halloween house in Sugarland Run! I had her as a sub many times ... Probably a dozen times or more. It always struck me how badly she felt that I missed our senior prom because we got lost in a limo heading back to the school from dinner in DC. She came up to me at lunch the following Monday and put her arms around me and expressed how sorry she was. Her compassion over that forever left a mark on me. I think she is one of those rare souls that leaves a mark on everyone she touches... Love and hugs, Mrs. Plant! -Bobby Page Class of 1989

Mrs. Plant was a light and gem, I know for sure she made for good "in the hall" conversation. She will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Plant was an amazing lady and truly made Broad Run a family. I was blessed to work with her for many years and she reached out to every student. I was also fortunate to have taught Craig. Her smile could always light up a room and her words of wisdom carried me through life's challenges. I am grateful and blessed for knowing her.

Mrs. Plant was one of the first people I met when I arrived at Broad Run in 1995, and I am grateful and blessed to have been able to call her a colleague and a friend. The Broad Run HIgh School community will not be the same without her, but she touched the lives of everyone that she met, counseled, and greeted; therefore, her legacy of love and kindness will endure.

I worked with Mrs. Plant for 15 years at Broad Run High School. She was the same age as my mother so often she would ask about her (and my dad as well). She had an incredible memory and could remember students from years ago without a second thought. She could even tell you about their families. She was always so kind, caring, and fun and I always respected her "old school" manner, always demanding respect from the students. She was a treasure to Broad Run HS and I will never forget her. Mrs. Plant was Broad Run HIgh School. What a huge loss to the Broad Run community.

Sent a Pink Potpourri Bouquet to the Plant family.

A lovely bouquet of pink roses and lilies fills a white vase, creating a warm and inviting scene.

Mrs Plant was a unique individual. There was no one like her. She was charming, funny, and caring. Her smile and laughter was a constant presence for all She would take time to ask about you and your family . She loved us and we loved her back.

There will never be a stronger advocate for a school. Dolores shaped our daily experience with her warmth and humor. I will always cherish my time with her and remember her with a tear and a smile
