Her favorite pastimes are: FISHING: There is nothing that moved her quicker than when her Grandson, Chucky would call to let her know they are going fishing. She would be ready at dawn with her fishing gear ready to leave at 6AM waiting on him. PHONE CONVERSATIONS: Talking on the phone for hours with family and friends. GRANDCHILDREN: Cherishing who they are and their accomplishments. THE WESTERNS & THE WALTONS: She would discuss each and every episode as if she's never seen them a hundred time over.
Sis. Delores' greatest joy came from her family. Children are a gift from GOD. With the union of her late husband, Melvin W. Hill, Sr, she was blessed to be the proud parent of five: Christine, Dean (Marschell) – and remembered with love are her late children Wesley, Brigette and Dennis Hill. Delores found love and companionship once more when she married James Pollard, Sr. Their union was a testament to enduring power of love at every stage of life.
