Dolores Ann Ulman was born on September 15, 1930 in Appleton, Wisconsin, the daughter of Mary (Kreutzberg) Ulman and George E. Ulman.

She attended St. Joseph Grade School in Appleton, and graduated from St. Mary High School in Menasha, Wisconsin in 1948. She had a love of learning and attended various colleges in her adult life, completing a degree in business.

Her first employment was with the Wisconsin-Michigan Power Company in Appleton, Wisconsin. She next worked at Marathon Paper Company in Menasha, Wisconsin, as the executive secretary for Russel Flom. Her next employment was with General Motors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was offered a transfer by General Motors to the Washington, D.C. area in the late 1950's, and with her sense of adventure, she happily took it.

Dolores was very active in the political campaign to elect Richard Nixon as President, and following his election, she worked in the White House, where she administrated President Richard Nixon's travel office during his years in the White House. She worked for the Mellon Foundation in her years after the White House. Her last employment was with Price Waterhouse, before she started her retirement.

Dolores married Dr. William Sladen on May 21, 1983 at St Mary Magdalene Church in Westerfield, Suffolk England, although their marriage ended in divorce a few years later. Dolores lived in Arlington, Virginia for the majority of her adult life. She absolutely loved the city of Washington, D.C. and had a keen interest in Republican politics and world history. She was an avid reader throughout her life, especially of history.

She had deteriorating health for over a year and lived in a nursing home in Fairfax, Virginia. She had a heart attack two months ago, and she died peacefully at the age of 84 on January 20, 2015.
