In her time, Dolores Bodnar loved more than 50 babies as though they
were her own.
Dolores E. Bodnar, of Upper St. Clair, died Saturday, Jan. 31, 2004,
after a brief illness. She was 67.

Mrs. Bodnar cared for more than 45 infants as a foster parent in
addition to raising five children of her own. She cared for years for
babies removed from abusive homes or other bad situations, said Mrs.
Bodnar's daughter Janet Jones.

In some cases, the children had been pulled from garbage cans or were
marked by cigarette burns. Mrs. Bodnar nurtured the children until a
permanent home could be found. In some cases, the babies stayed for
months. In others, they stayed only a few weeks.
