Delores Hanks, Post secretary, volunteer
Dolores Theele Hanks had a penchant for helping others.
"She was a very pleasant person. She always had a smile, " John Feldman, the former advertising manager of The Kentucky Post, said of Mrs. Hanks.
Mrs. Hanks, 82, of Lakeside Park, died Thursday at her home.
For 18 years, Mrs. Hanks worked as both a secretary and the switchboard operator at The Post, said her sister, Connie Schneider of Independence.
"She was the secretary to the business manager Charles Willenborg. Half of her salary came from the business department and half from the editor's office, " recalled Feldman.
Mrs. Hanks also was a secretary with Thomas More College, for Camp Marydale and for the Covington Businessmen Association, Mrs. Schneider said. She retired about 20 years ago.
Mrs. Hanks was a charter member of Blessed Sacrament Church and School in Ft. Mitchell, Mrs. Schneider said. "She was there when they opened the doors of the school, and attended
through the eighth grade, " her sister said.
"She had to wait until she was 7 years old for the school to open. The only school then was at the orphanage and my mother thought it was too far to walk. It was all right, because later she skipped a grade, " said Mrs. Schneider.
Mrs. Hanks also worked as a volunteer with the Parish Kitchen in Covington for a number of years, Mrs. Schneider said. "She was there at the beginning, and only stopped because she broke her ankle and had trouble standing for a long time. She kept busy and did a lot of good."
