Dolores was born December 18, 1930, on her grandfather's farm west of Dows, the first child of Leonard Thomas Foust and Charlotte Amelia (Gragert) Foust. She attended country school for her first three years before graduating from Dows High School in 1948. She was very interested in music being involved in band where she went to many music contests with her E-Flat Alto Saxophone. She also participated in Glee Club and played the piano. Dolores then attended Iowa Teachers College at Cedar Falls, IA for one year. She then worked at Newberry's Department Store in Webster City, IA before working for the Mason City School District as secretary for the superintendent and later in the health office. In 1953, she became reacquainted with upper classmate Ervin K. State who had rode the same school bus in previous years. They were married May 2, 1954, at the Dows United Methodist Church and have made their home in Mason City since.
