On January 22, 1969, she married the love of her life, Charles Stolder, in Cleveland, Ohio. Together they shared many years of marriage, building a family rooted in love, dedication, and strong values.

Della was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Chester and Mary Lanum; and by 10 siblings.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, with details to be announced.
