Dolores Emaline Raney

Dolores “Emaline” Raney, 92, of New Castle passed away quietly in her sleep on the morning of Friday, January 21, 2022.

She was born September 16, 1929 in Cumberland City, Kentucky and was the daughter of the late Roy Bell and Addie (Catron) Bell.

Emaline (her preferred name) moved with her family to New Castle when she was 10 years old. She married her first husband, Fred Charles Pryor in 1947. They were happily married for 58 years until his passing in 2005. Emaline remarried in 2014 to her second husband, Glen Raney.

She was a devout Christian all her life and devoted much of her time to church related activities. Emaline served on the church board, taught Sunday school, was church treasurer and helped raise money for missionary work on several occasions.

Emaline’s greatest joy was her family. She loved listening to Christian music and occasionally singing or playing the piano for church services. Painting, arts and crafts, as well as gardening/canning were also favorite pastimes for her during different stages of her life.
