This is a very special day for the Lang Family. Dolores Lang turns 94 today.
She was born in Chicago, May 27th, 1931. She was raised there until the age of 12 years, then her parents moved to Mount Vernon, WA.
Dolores married Harry Lang and they purchased land on the Little Mountain Road in Mount Vernon. At the time, Little Mountain Road was a one-lane dirt trail.
Over time, the two of them built a bridge, built a house and then started a family.
Dolores had three kids and then adopted a fourth. She was a great mom and wanted her kids to have a diverse childhood. She made sure they got dance lessons, piano lessons, violin lessons, swim lessons, and then pony lessons. She purchased a pony for each one of them to take riding lessons. As time went on, the kids grew and they needed larger sized ponies, so she bought them bigger ponies. Soon she had extra ponies.
Dolores believed in the benefits of kids riding ponies; learning self-confidence and the responsibility of taking care of an animal. She loved sharing farm life with kids who did not have access to ponies.
Dolores became very involved in the Skagit County 4-H program. Her children rode with the Saddle Bums 4-H club, she also had them do cooking, sewing, photography, health and other 4-H projects that were available. 4-H was an amazing place for Dolores to connect with other families and share her love of ponies as well as 4-H.
Dolores was also very involved with Le Leche League. She was an advocate for mothers breastfeeding their babies. She spoke to other young mothers in person and on the phone to help them with their troubles and praise their successes.
Dolores lived a very full life. Between her children, the ponies, 4-H and La Leche League she was very busy. Yet she wanted more. She loved sharing the ponies with other children. She saw a need in the community for kids to come touch, pet, brush and learn to ride.
In the early 1970's she started allowing kids to come take a pony ride and a nature walk. She wanted them to know about the animals that lived on the property and why they had an integral part in this environment.
Dolores also spent her life rescuing stray cats and dogs. She took in sick homeless animals and fixed them so they could find a permanent home. Dolores was very involved with the Skagit County Humane Society for many, many years and served on their Board of Directors. Dolores gave of herself to her children, and the community. Her life has been about giving knowledge and joy to others. She spent decades taking her ponies off the farm and going to schools to give pony rides.
Dolores is fortunate to still live in her family home (with her 3 cats). The same home that she and husband Harry built in the early 1960's. She has around the clock caregivers to take care of her every need. Dolores has lived an amazing life, and there are thousands of kids who have benefited from her love of ponies.
If you have a fun story to share about Dolores, please share it. Today, we celebrate the life of this amazing lady.
