Dolores Marie Salamone

Dolores M. (DiFillippo) Salamone passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at her residence in E. Norriton, PA with her loving husband, Richard, by her side. She was 85 years old. Dolores was an active member of St. Titus Church in E. Norriton, participating in the Bell Choir. She attended Bridgeport High School, class of 1958, where she was a member of the band front as a majorette. Dolores worked for 43 years in banking; first for Bridgeport National and then with Wells Fargo as Head Teller and ultimately Branch Manager. She consistently volunteered her time with organizations such as the American Cancer Society (18 years) and the Simpson House on Belmont Ave. Dolores loved camping and really enjoyed doing her crossword puzzles. But what truly set Dolores apart was a rare and gentle warmth that made every person feel seen, valued, and cared for, whether they were lifelong friends or passing acquaintances. Her kindness knew no boundaries, leaving an enduring imprint of love on every heart she touched.

Born in Bridgeport, PA on May 2, 1940, she was a daughter of the late Alexander S. and Stella V. (Grabowski) DiFillippo. Dolores married the love of her life, Richard C. Salamone, in 1964 and spent 61 wonderful years together.

In addition to her beloved husband, Dolores is survived by many nieces, nephews, friends, and neighbors.

She is preceded in death by her daughter, Dawn Marie Salamone; and her sister, Jeanette V. Pultorak.
