She was a member of Christian Mothers at Holy Cross Church in Butler for many years. After moving from the farm, she volunteered at both the Perham Nursing Home and chapel. She enjoyed cooking and baking especially with her grandchildren. She always had the coffee pot and cookies ready for anyone who stopped by. Delores was very proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed gardening, playing cards, and dancing with Joe in her younger days.
