Eileen Delay Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 9, 2025.
"Into each life some rain will fall, and I fell into my parent's life on April 24, 1932."
Our mom wrote that at the beginning of a school assignment.
In weather and relationships there are beautiful sunrises and storms. Beyond all the surfaces is a love that survives it all. A love that in the end shows us the face that God sees. It's a beauty that touches our souls and calls to us to do better, to be better. Our mom would remind us that it's the little things that count in life. And being remembered for loving people was of great importance. Our mom could be that ray of sunlight to brighten your day. She brightened many days and touched our lives in tangible and life- giving lessons.
Surrounded by love, our mom left this earthly life on October 6, 2025. Our families will miss her and remember the love. We carry it with us always.
