updated 2 hours 26 minutes ago Print Font: LOS ANGELES — Dolores Hope, the wife of late entertainer Bob Hope, died on Monday of natural causes at the age of 102, a family spokesman said.
Hope, a singer who put her career on hold after her marriage, died in the Toluca Lake area of Los Angeles, said spokesman Harlan Boll. Bob Hope, her husband of almost 70 years, died in July 2003 at the age of 100.
Dolores Hope had a singing career in New York before she met her entertainer husband and married him. Together, they moved to Los Angeles so he could pursue a career in film and television.
The couple raised four children and Dolores often accompanied Hope on his many visits to entertain U.S. troops overseas.

Nearly 70 years of marriage? How heart-warmng to hear that it can happen in Hollywood. She sounded like a lovely lady and they were devoted to each other.
Bob Hope was born in Lewisham, London and died when he was 100. What wonderful lives they must have had. Lovely story.
