Delma and Jack had two children, Gretchen and Jack, Jr. They moved to Nelson in their later years. After her husband's death, Delma moved back to the farm where her son, Jack, Jr., now lives.
Delma loved the out-of-doors and farm life. She was constantly doing the chores that a farm requires. She was not afraid to harness up the horses and do the field work. She loved and cared for animals. Even the day before she died she cared for her chickens and cattle. The litter of new puppies were all petted and cared for. She enjoyed her flowers and gardening. Yes, she was a farm lady at heart and soul.
