Born: March 26, 1936 in Chicago, IL
Died: August 19, 2025 in Manchester, IA
LOIS MARENE (DELK) MORRIS, 89, of Manchester, Iowa, formerly of Albany, IL, passed away on Tuesday, August 19, 2025. She was born on March 26, 1936, in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Harry and Lillian Harris.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, August 30 2025, from 11:00 AM until the time of the funeral service at 1:00 PM at Fulton Chapel of the Bosma-Renkes Funeral in Fulton, IL, with Rev. Rod Dye officiating. Interment will take place at Lusk Memorial Cemetery in Albany, IL. A memorial has been established.
Lois graduated from Wilmington High School in 1954 and married the love of her life, Frank Delk, on September 30, 1956. They shared 37 wonderful years of marriage before Frank's passing on September 30, 1993. On May 31, 2001, Lois found love and companionship again when she married James Morris, with whom she shared many happy years.
A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Lois was happiest surrounded by her family. She loved fishing, bowling, playing cards, and cheering for her beloved Chicago Cubs. Camping was one of her greatest joys, a tradition she shared not only with her children but also with her grandchildren, creating memories that will last for generations.
Lois is survived by her children, Richard (Michele) Delk of Littleton, CO, and Sandy (Craig Ingamells) Alber of Manchester, IA; grandchildren Jason (Beth) Alber, Micky Alber, Jonathon Delk, and Jennifer Delk; and great-grandchildren Breka and Devin Alber, and Colton Alber. She is also survived by step children Jim (Mary) Morris and Raymond Morris; step son-in-law, Wayne Payne; several step-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Lillian Harris; her brother, Hector Harris; her husbands, Frank Delk and Jim Morris; her son, Dave Delk; step children, Daniel Morris and Jody Payne.
Lois will be remembered for her warm heart, her love for family, and the joy she brought to everyone who knew her.
The family would like to thank all who loved and supported Lois throughout her life.
