Del was a soft spoken person with a heart of gold. Her smile was unforgettable. Del’s most cherished possession was her family. She always sent birthday cards and was always excited to celebrate her own. She always looked forward to family coming to visit and going to visit family. Just receiving a phone call from loved ones made her day and meant so much to her. Her annual family reunions were something she always looked forward to attending.
