Obituary for Dolores D. Hakim
Dolores D. Hakim, (92), surrounded by her loving family went to be with the Lord on October 17, 2020, Dolores was born on New Year’s Eve 1927 in Bayonne, NJ. Dolores’s birthday was always a celebration! Born and raised in Bayonne, NJ, Dolores was a pioneer along with many women in the 1940’s who sought full time careers. Dolores was a registered nurse for fifty years.
Del loved the beach and moved to the Jersey Shore where she lived for many years. During the summer, Del spent long days at Spring Lake beach and warm nights hosting barbeques for her children, grandchildren whom she loved dearly. Del passed on her love for the beach to her children and grandchildren. She was an avid traveler who had a soft spot for south Florida, making many trips to Jupiter Beach, during the winters, with her sister Arlene. She enjoyed traveling around the world from London to Mexico and places like Algeria.
Dolores had many friends, loved to laugh, going out to dinner and enjoying life. She was an intelligent, extraordinarily strong independent woman who spoke her mind and would let you know what she was thinking. She was kind, extremely generous and very loving to her family. She loved crossword puzzles, playing bridge and doing needlepoint. She was a member of the Monmouth County Association for the Blind, The Garden Club of Spring Lake, and the Cadet Corps of the US - Staten Island.
Dolores married Chester Szymanski in 1949 and had three children. Dolores is predeceased by her precious parents Harry and Rose Hakim and brother-in-law, Richard McGillis.
