Hubert- Veronica Marie Dolese, also known as our beloved Anna or "Ronnie," left this side of Earth on February 10.

Ronnie was one of the kindest and most loving souls you could ever meet. With a playful spirit and more than a touch of mischief, they brought warmth and light to those around them. Their passion for life was evident in everything they did. Animals instinctively felt safe in their presence and were naturally drawn to their gentle nature.

A gifted equestrian and skilled canine trainer, Ronnie trained their own working dogs for both medical and psychiatric support. They were deeply committed to sharing their knowledge and loved helping others learn and grow.

Ronnie was a child, sibling, and friend. They were also an advocate for trauma survivors and a fierce advocate for human and animal rights.

Ronnie was preceded in death by their father, Glen Dolese; grandmother, Sue Harlow; and their own little Alice. They are survived by their mother, Sarah Dolese; brother, Timothy Dolese; sisters Gracie Dolese and Harper, Margaret, and Natalie Olson; partner Philip Wiesniewski; grandfather, James Harlow; uncles Scott Harlow and Joseph Cullipher; and closest friends Arson Adams, Wyanet Dicamillo, Jax Ireland, and Lauren Bonifas.

Ronnie will be missed deeply.

A Celebration of Life will be held on February 20.Location and further details will be disseminated privately.
