DoLores Wastier, 91, of Baxter, IA passed away quietly Sunday, March 25, 2018 surrounded by her loving family. She was a precious gift from God and now rests in His loving arms. DoLores loved and was devoted to her family. She faithfully served God and the Baxter community. When she looks down from heaven, she will be amazed to see the number of lives she touched.
