Delores Milton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 12, 2012.
Delores Lester Milton was born on November 2, 1942 in Coconut Grove, Florida. She was the oldest of three girls to the late parents, Ms. Allie B. Lester and Mr. Moses Lester. The first years of her life laid the foundation for her inner strength and independence, love of family, joy of celebrations with friends, and love of the Lord.

Delores Lester Milton was educated in the Dade County Public School System and attended Carver Elementary and Dorsey Sr. High. She worked at Miami Dade College (formerly Miami Dade Community College) as an Environmental Specialist. Delores retired after 25 years of service to the college.

She relocated to Liberty City where she was united in Holy matrimony to the late James Milton. Through their union they were blessed with one loving son: Flanders Keith Lester.

With Christ as her personal savior, Delores became a member of Mt. Tabor Missionary Baptist Church in Miami, Florida under the pastoral leadership of Reverend Dr. George E. McRae.

She was surrounded and supported by her loving family and caregiver during the last days of her life. Delores' rose was plucked from the garden of heaven at 3:15 am on Sunday, March 11, 2012.

Delores Lester Milton is survived by her son, Flanders Keith Lester (Dale); grandson, Brandon Keith Lester; two sisters, Margaret A. Lester and Evelyn L. Culmer; loving niece Tyechia Culmer, and a host of cousins and friends.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
