Dolores R. (Somma) Metta, 84, of Enfield. God called Dolores home on Friday November 18, 2016 while surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of 47 years to the late Michele F. “Chet” Metta. Dolores was born on Feb. 28, 1932 in West Orange, NJ, the daughter of the late Eugene P. and Mildred A. (DeNunzio) Somma. She was a graduate of West Orange H.S. and had resided in Enfield for the past 49 years and in West Orange, NJ before that. Dolores was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her pride and joy was her family and her home. Dolores took much pride as a chaperone of the Enfield Sabers Drum & Bugle Corps, where she made many long-lasting friendships and fond memories as well as her job at the Elm Street McDonald’s serving the public. Dolores had a love for cooking especially during the holidays and making her “Holiday Soup” a secret family recipe and her butter cookies. She loved her pets and all animals and especially feeding all the birds and squirrels. She will be greatly missed by all.
