Delphine Babich, age 77, passed away on April 10, 2025, in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Born on May 21, 1947, in Detroit to John and Leocadia Baron, Delphine was one of four siblings-Larry, David, and Sharon. She graduated from Henry Ford High School in Detroit and was known for her strong work ethic. She spent decades working as a waitress at Capraro's and later at Mario's, where she was a familiar and friendly face to many.
Delphine was a devoted mother to Brian Babich (Jody) and Jeffrey Farley, and a proud and loving "Bapa" to her grandchildren: Logan, Braden, Payton, and Charlie. Family was at the center of her life. She especially treasured Sunday dinners with her loved ones and was a constant source of encouragement and support for them-whether on the sidelines of a game or celebrating achievements in school.
She was proud of her Christian faith, which guided her life and shaped the values she shared with her family. Delphine also had a creative side-she loved making chocolates in all sorts of shapes and colors, and they were as delicious as they were beautiful.
She cherished her lifelong friendships, and those who knew her will remember her kindness, strength, and dedication to the people she cared about.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM at A.J. Desmond & Sons Funeral Home (2600 Crooks Road, Troy, MI 48084). A Memorial Service in Delphine's honor will begin at 2:00 PM at the funeral home.
Please join us in celebrating her life.
