She is survived by daughter, Terry Montgomery (Rodger); son, Kenneth Daniels (Pat); step-daughters, Jo Bergold (Richard), & Sig Millman (Donald); step-son, Barry Dodd (Nancy); sister, Etta Cuccini; brother, Sonny Horsey; many grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many dear, close friends.
Per her wishes, her ashes will be spread over a beautiful mountain top in Western Maryland.

I was sadden to hear of Delores' passing. A good friend, a devoted member of the senior Centers, and a grand lady. We had many happy hours playing cards and enjoying lunches together. She loved painting and sharing her art work. I am honored to have two special award winners hanging in my home. I will miss her. My deepest sympathy and love to the family. May God be near at this time of sorrow.

Delores was a lovely lady that I was fortunate to know through
my mother, Hilda. These two were part of a group of fun loving women who formed a dance group that tap danced for several charity events. The women shared close bonds, did fun things together & were kind & supportive to one another. Delores was a wonderful member & so pretty.
