Dolores Margaret Rogers Brammer, 85, who resided at the Parker Personal Care home after recently moving from a care home in Shippenville, formerly of Foxburg, passed away of natural causes Thursday evening at UPMC Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Born on April 14, 1928, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Carl Edward and Louise Emma Weber Rogers.
