Della lived a life full of love, conversations, and connections. She was the type of lady who could strike up a chat with anyone, anytime, anywhere, a trait she picked up from her father. Along with loving to talk, she also loved to sing but dancing was her favorite. Della's warmth and openness were unmistakable, and she carried those gifts with her through each season of her life, making many great friends along the way. Her circle was wide, and she always made time to visit often. Della loved the Lord deeply. She enjoyed Sunday School and was always happy to be involved in the choir. Della had a passion for flowers, especially carnations, and her home bloomed with beautiful full flower beds. She was a master in the kitchen, she loved to cook, bake and canning with skill and love.
