Dolly Fortier Obituary, Death Cause – Monday was Big Band Monday, Tuesday was Girl Tuesday, Wednesday was Whatever Wednesday, Thursday was Guy Thursday, and Friday was Featured Artist Friday. After a career in radio broadcasting spanning 39 years, she stepped down from her position at KWLO Radio and officially retired in 2008. She maintained her commitment to volunteer work, but in 2013 she made her comeback to the broadcasting industry after taking a break of five years.
“Dolly was an extraordinary woman. She exerted a lot of effort for the benefit of her audience. “Dolly was the only person who loved them more than anyone else, and they showed her that love right back,” said Jim Coloff, president of Coloff Media and owner of the station. Fortier was a recipient of one of The Courier’s prestigious Eight Over 80 awards in the year 2017. During that time, she gave an interview in which she said that she had “a motor that never stops.” God has given me the strength to do many things in my life. I simply adore meeting new people, and I thrive when I’m kept extremely busy.
The life of Dolly Fortier has been taken. The week before last, the broadcaster, who is 86 years old, had a heart attack. Because of a shift in the programming on Cruisin’ KCFI Radio, her regular listeners were able to detect her disappearance from the station. She passed away on Wednesday, and Fortier was heard on the radio every weekday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It didn’t take long for “Lunchtime with Dolly” to become one of KCFI FM 105.1 and AM 1250’s most popular programs.
