Dolores Dee Smothermon, a 1951 graduate of Redlands High School, died of congestive heart 
failure Feb. 12 in Redlands. She was 74. 
She was born Sept. 9, 1933, in Mena, Ark., and had 18 brothers and sisters. Her family moved 
to Redlands when she was a child, and she graduated from Redlands High School in 1951. 

She had lived in other places after that, but came back to Redlands several times, living here 
for more than 20 years. 

Her family said she lived her life for her family, including her extended family, and that she felt 
she had found her soulmate in her husband Rollie. 

They said she was proud of the family tree book she created with her brother Oran King and 
sister Dodie de Haan and that those close to her will always remember the "blanket brigade." 

Survivors include her husband Rollie Smothermon of Redlands; sons Danny East of Missouri, 
Greg Card of Yucaipa and Gary Card and Joe Card, both of Bakersfield; daughters Lora Boyd 
of Alta Loma and Tammy Sizemore of Redlands; stepsons Willy Grigonis, Russell Smothermon, 
Samuel Smothermon and Dana Smothermon; stepdaughters Kim Allen of England and Nancy 
Seal of Woodland; brothers Oran King of Redlands and Grady King of Texas; sisters Edna 
Johnson of Medford, Ore., Amanda Molder of Bullhead City, Ariz., and Dodie de Haan of Missouri; 
52 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. 

Services will be at 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 18, at Emmerson-Bartlett Memorial Chapel
