She was instrumental in the development of health care on the island and a co-founder and president of the Trinidad and Tobago Nursing Association.
Berenice Ivyoll Grant, known as "Ben", was born on 11 October 1917 in Pointe-à-Pierre on the island of Trinidad in Trinidad and Tobago to Mary and Fitz-James Grant.

Dolly began working with the Ministry of Health in San Fernando, as well as a group of different charitable organizations like the Chest and Heart Association (which she founded in 1940) and the Coterie of Social Workers.
Not affiliated with any particular hospital, she depended on placements from the nursing association and the government.
In 1943, Reynold took a position at the Pointe-à-Pierre Hospital (PPH) as a junior medical officer.
The PPH, was a private facility located in an oil refinery compound, initially run by British Petroleum, then for a time by Texaco and was nationalized when Trinidad and Tobago gained its independence, eventually becoming Petrotrin.
As employees of the hospital were provided homes, the couple moved onto the compound, as the only black couple living among the oil workers.
They soon had three children: Joan, Stephen and Hilary.

She was extremely active in nursing, pressing for legislation to register and regulate the industry.
The Nurses’ Registration Ordinance No. 38, pushed through because of Dolly’s perseverance was passed in 1950.
She pressed for creation of the College of Nursing, was a founding member of the Trinidad and Tobago Nurses Association, serving as its executive director for many years, and led the drive to create the Nursing Council of Trinidad and Tobago, to oversee the members of the profession.
She was honored as an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1962 and awarded the Gold Public Service Medal of Merit of the Order of the Trinity in 1976.
