She was born August 12, 1938, in Atlantic City, NJ to Gerardo and Stella (Jaszczak) Ontiveros. Dolores was raised in Washington, DC and lived in DC until marrying Orlando “Orly” Marinaccio on June 16, 1962. Dolores has been a resident on North Beach since September of 2017 and has thoroughly enjoyed her time there.
Dolores was loved by many and touched so many lives through her charity and thoughtfulness. For Dolores, family was her priority and she attended many of her grandchildren’s school concerts and sporting events. Dolores moved to North Beach in 2017 and spent the most recent years as a volunteer for the Ladies of Charity of Calvert County and as a member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in North Beach, MD. Prior to moving to North Beach, Dolores lived in her family home in New Carrollton, MD for 54 years where she and Orly raised their family. Dolores was a very active member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Landover Hills, MD for over 50 years and served in many capacities such as Prefect of the Sodality, Crew Chief in the Burgundy Room, Host Family for the RCIA Program, Vocation Committee, Bereavement Committee, and Extraordinary Minister of the Holy Eucharist. She was a member of the Advisory Council of the Catholic Charities Mount Carmel House, of the Archdiocese of Washington for more than 20 years. She has supported the Forestville Pregnancy Center for many years. She was Dinner Program Coordinator at the Catholic Student Center at the University of Maryland. She was President of the Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW Council 2979 and Secretary for the Academy of Notre Dame Alumnae Association in Washington, DC. Dolores was a member of the Red Hat Society, and even an Honorary Redskinette.
Dolores was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years Orlando “Orly” Nicolo Marinaccio. She is survived by her children Diana Marie Williams and her husband James, Caren Louise Milliken and her husband Richard, Steven Andrew Marinaccio and his wife Shellie, Cynthia Ann Hangarter and her husband Joseph, and Christine Annette Marinaccio and her fiancé Mike Deschu, grandchildren Brittany Williams and her fiancé Tyler Hanan , Donald James “DJ” Milliken, Scott Milliken, Michelle Wight and her husband Stephen, Madison Bryan and her husband Andrew, Michael Marinaccio, and Clifford, Julia, and Vincent Hangarter, and great-grandchildren Kayleigh and Farah.

A classy lady who was a true servant of Christ.
Dolores’ life was punctuated with humor – she continued to remind me I “fired” all the elderly Pantry volunteers when Covid hit – just days before her passing.
From her perch above the North Beach boardwalk she watched the world go by. If she spotted you down below, she would holler at you to come up and join her if you had the time.
We Ladies of Charity were the recipients of Dolores’ final chapter of service to her church. Dolores was an active member who freely gave of her time and regularly participated in planning how to marry our resources with unmet needs in the community – she dreamt up and initiated the Nursing Home Project we now have serving Calvert County Nursing Center once she could no longer serve as a regular Pantry volunteer.
Family and friends were mainstays in Dolores’ life. Her 80th Birthday Celebration was a public display of just how many people Dolores was important to, and her family’s bedside vigil during her health crises of the past few years is one to be envied by most.
Rest now at peace, dear Dolores. May we be ever reminded of you as one who continued to serve others until God called you home.

Barbara, what a beautiful tribute to Mom! I couldn’t have said it better myself. She loved St. Anthony’s Parish and the Ladies of Charity. It brought her new life after Dad’s passing, and we will be forever grateful!

I have known Dolores for many years. Our best years were in sodality and when she was prefect.
Dolores always followed Jesus in her care for the poor, wounded, and unloved in society.
God be with her in this next journey. Rest in ones enjoy dear lady.

Although I just recently met Dolores, it felt like I had known her for years. She embraced me and all the caregivers as if we were life-long friends. She was so sweet and funny. It was truly an honor and pleasure to be with her. I know I speak for each of her caregivers as well when I say she was loved by all. Our sympathy to her beautiful children whom I had the pleasure to meet. You can feel Dolores’s love and spirit in each of them.
Rest in peace in the arms of our Lord until we meet again ❤️

Dolores and Orly were longtime members of the community of believers at St. Mary’s Landover Hills. They were a couple who worshiped together, ran Bingo together for many years, and participated in many parish organizations. Orly went home to the Lord many years ago and is now joined by his wife Delores.

I’ve know Dolores for more that forty years. I first met her when I joined the choir at St. Mary’s and her husband Orly was in the choir. Any time something was needed at church she and Orly were there to pitch in. She came to my mother’s funeral and it turned out that they had a plot about four stones down from mom. Her parents were also buried on the other side of their plot so she said to me “Let me introduce you to my parents”. Every time one of us went to visit, we always paid a visit to the other’s family member at the cemetery. Dolores was a lovely and faith centered person. She will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her. Rest in Peace my friend.

Mrs. Marinaccio could easily be described as my Mom’s sister from another mister! We lived on opposite ends of the block, but they were always two peas in a pod!

We met Orly & Dolores through St. Mary’s choir. One was always made to feel welcome in their presence, so right away were invited into their inner circle. We kept in touch even after Orly passed away because, with Dolores, once a friend, forever a friend. Dolores was a dynamic, loving lady with an open heart for others. She will be sorely missed, but heaven will be just a bit brighter.

I met Dolores back in the late 1980s when her father Gerardo and her mother Stella were in their last days. I buried them from St. Francis Xavier in DC. She was always a loyal friend. I visited in her home in New Carrollton where she lived with Orly. She was always welcoming and kind. We reconnected years later when she moved to Calvert County following Orly’s death. I really enjoyed seeing her at various events. So sorry that I didn’t know she was ill.
She was a dear sweet lady. Always kind and supportive. The real soul of Christian love. She will be missed.

I met Dolores nearly 35 years ago when she worked for the University of Maryland on a temporary basis. She was such a sweetheart with a great sense of humor and we hit it off immediately even with a great age difference. My deepest sympathies for your loss. She was one of a kind.
