sue1898 Posted July 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Yesterday a gentleman who had been her dance partner several times on HAL cruises reported on their FB page that she had recently passed away. May she Rest In Peace! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir PMP Posted July 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2022 So sorry, to hear that, good old Dolly, she was in her nineties and a very long Hal passenger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted July 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Thank you for letting us know. I'm sorry to know Dolly (what a gal!) won't be sailing the high seas anymore, and hosting guests at her dinner table. The thought that she is now well again, able to get around easily, and can kick up her heels is comforting, though. I can see her now, having a great time as she sails through eternity. Rest in peace, Dolly. You were one of a kind. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted July 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Dolly is one of the legendary guests that have sailed on HAL. Kissing Annie is another one. May Dolly enjoy a sail through eternity with the knowledge that she has contributed to so many others cruise memories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMLincoln Posted July 30, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Fair winds and following seas Miss Dolly! We met Dolly long ago on Amsterdam when we were all younger! But she kept a youthful spirit! I hope I can be like her in some small way! m— 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAllenTCY Posted July 30, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I met Mrs. Smith on many occasions at the San Diego pier. She was quite a nice person to speak with and I am confident that she is happily reunited with her ex. She always spoke kindly of him and she was very appreciative of her life style that he left behind. She was not a big spender and occasionally chose to ride the city bus with a day pass instead of a Holland America tour when in this port. One day she was went walking in the rain, and when I asked her why she didn't have an umbrella, she told me that she didn't need one. She was very frail the last time that we met, perhaps 5 years ago. I saw her being assisted in a wheelchair to a taxi for her flight home. Her mind was still keen, and she lamented that she just couldn't walk a great distance any more. She loved her time on the Amsterdam....which she said was her "home".

Rare erewhon Posted July 30, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We were guests of Copper10-8 on the Amsterdam during a visit to Picton, while being shown around the ship, he introduced us to Dolly, an amazing lady. Rest In Peace Dolly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted August 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Very sorry to hear! May she rest in peace! She was a unique lady! Never forget the story she told me that, as a 15-16-yr old, she and a girlfriend hitchhiked from Santa Monica to San Francisco where the two of them were able to board and stowaway on a Matson steamer and made it all the way to Honolulu, HI 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
