She adored her family and took pride and joy in her grandson and great-grandsons!
Delores enjoyed sewing, collecting and making dolls, crafts, shopping and decorating. She was very creative, resourceful and could find a way to fix anything! She was a member of the laughter ladies, Red Hat group. The group met regularly and it gave Delores the opportunity to "dress up", enjoy much laughter and companionship.
