Delora was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother (Lola) and friend to many. Delora loved working in her flower bed, thrifting with her friends and weekend getaways with her husband.

She is also survived by two grandchildren: Copeland and Naomi Monday, and a host of nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Winfrey is preceded in death by her parents, Guy and Felisa Copeland, also of Douglas.
