Delores Levy Obituary

At 20 years of age, having graduated from Superior State Teachers College, Delores took a teaching position for one year in Fort Morgan, Colorado before heading to Lodi, California where her parents had settled after selling the farm. While teaching English at Lodi High School, she met Donald J. Levy to whom she was married for 53 years. They had four children who blessed them with 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
In addition to being a talented writer, she was a gifted landscape, portrait and quick sketch artist who taught art and English at Lodi High School, Lodi Adult School and San Joaquin Delta College over the years. She was also a very good pianist who shared her love of music and old hymns at Lodi United Methodist Church and numerous rest homes and convalescent hospitals around town. She enjoyed sewing, gardening, garage sales, decorating, raising children and attending church. Delores will be remembered as a gentle, loving woman whose Christian faith remains a source of inspiration to all.
Delores was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Emma Gross; husband, Donald J. Levy; daughter, Laura Jo (Ted) Bobrow; and siblings, Lillian (Ray) Bresette, Clarence (Judy) Gross, Laura (Howard) Moland, Myron Gross, Florence (George) Kremple and Wesley (Nita) Gross.
