  • Notes 
    • “Dolce didn’t like her name and preferred to go by Ann. Upon the death of her mother who died of appendicitis when Dolce was about two years old, her father somewhat distanced himself from the family, leaving the care of his two children to his mother, Anna von Rosenberg Hornberger until “Mama Berger” died when Dolce was a young teen. At that time she was cared for by various family members. She attended Pease School in Austin, and the Ursula Academy in San Antonio. She received a degree from Seton Hospital in Austin. Not long after graduating she was briefly married. She resided in Arizona for a short time, but returned to Texas in 1943. After the birth of her first child, the family lived briefly in Austin then moved to Miami, Florida, where they started a business. They were there about two years when she felt she needed to disassociate herself from all family members, including her two year old child. She kept in touch with her baby’s father for a few months before leaving Florida, telling no one her whereabouts. In the early 1950’s she married Don Peterson and had two children and eventually left them with their father as well. It wasn’t until the end of 1961 that she decided to make contact with the family in Texas by visiting an aunt in Austin. She asked the aunt to keep her visit confidential. Soon after returning to California, she died. At the time of her death she was working as a nurse at Los Angeles County Hospital in California. Her family then learned that she had worked in various hospitals in different states, which included volunteer work in Point Barrow, Alaska during an epidemic that took the lives of many sled dogs. She attended St. Andrew’s Catholic Church.”
