In 1998 Dolly ended 27 years in the restaurant business. She and her son, Kibby, co-owner, sold the Duke City Restaurant at 9200 Central Avenue SW. The Duke City Restaurant had been a popular eating place for many of the Park Plaza residents.

She enjoyed the lifestyle and the security. She was a member of Phi Sigma Alpha, Petroleum Club, and Elk�s Club. Mrs. Barge was a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, MO. Since coming to Albuquerque in 1956, Dolly had subscribed to the Missouri newspaper, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. After she read it, she gave it to her son who also enjoys reading about local St. Louis news. Dolly was very proud of her three grandchildren and two great-grandsons.
