Dolores 'Kay' Cole

July 9, 1950 - February 10, 2019

Dolores 'Kay' Cole, 68, of Charlotte, a feisty spirit and life of the party, died February 10, 2019. She was born in Bridgeton, New Jersey on July 9, 1950 to Daniel and Mary (Schmidt) Moncrief. She graduated from Charlotte High School, and then married Carroll J. "Onion" Cole on May 1, 1970, and together they raised four daughters. Kay was always very sassy, and passed some of this on to her daughters. She worked at Owens-Illinois and later at AE Hoover in Charlotte. Kay enjoyed scratch-off lottery tickets, fishing, camping, morning drives with her husband and dogs, listening to country music, and especially spending time with her grandkids. In their younger years, Kay and Onion loved square dancing with neighborhood friends. Kay is survived by her husband of nearly 49 years, Carroll J. "Onion" Cole; daughters, Cheryl L. Miller, Angie (Loyd) Cords, Carol (David) Betts, and Katherine "Katie" Cole; grandchildren, Joshua D. Miller and Shaine A. Miller; sisters, Anna (Jim) Mullins, Katherine (Jerry) McCormick, and Ruth (Gary) Cole; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Jack, Tom, and Bill Moncrief; and nephew, John Moncrief. If desired, the family suggests memorial contributions to a Charity of Your Choice.
