DeLoris was a Red Cross volunteer and was very involved at St. Patrick Catholic Church. DeLoris enjoyed life. She stayed active with daily walks and driving her car well into her 90s. She played cards with zeal, was a steadfast volunteer, and knew how to graciously entertain family and friends. DeLoris was an excellent seamstress and made the kids 'entire wardrobes when they were young. She loved making matching sundresses for the girls with matching shirt for Tom. She was an excellent cook and baker, but her true expertise was pie baking. She was known far and wide for the flakiest crust of all time. Dick and DeLoris traveled the world. She was an amazing grandma, and loved the big Christmas Eve's at her home. And her morning coffee on the porch. Memorials may be directed the charity of the donor’s choice.
