Dolores P. Wargo, 86, of Shippensburg, passed away Friday, February 20, 2026 at the Mercy House of Chambersburg, surrounded by her loving family.

Born Thursday, August 3, 1939 in Shippensburg, she was a daughter of the late Harry Hockenberry and Margaret A. Bigler Smith, and a stepdaughter of the late Charles W. Smith.

She was a 1959 graduate of the Shippensburg Area Senior High School. Dolores was a member of the Shippensburg Church of Christ.

Dolores worked for Carothers & Hoffman, G. C. Murphy, Nettie Fox, and was a noon aide at James Burd and Nancy Grayson Elementary Schools in Shippensburg.

She was a member of the Vigilant Hose Company Ladies Auxiliary where she was a Charter Member, Past President, and Trustee.

Dolores was a wonderful Gram, who kept her grandchildren Seth and Logan. She loved her great grandbabies, Eli, Leo, and Eve. She made the best blueberry tart and peanut butter fudge. Her favorite colors were orange and brown, and we would like everyone in attendance to wear these colors.
