Adelia Theresa Roehrig died peacefully on August 11, 2011 at Michealsen Health Center in Batavia, IL. She was born on July 31, 1913 to Carl and Marie (Platter) Sierke in Aurora, IL. Della married Albert Roehrig on September 18, 1935, and they led an active life, camping, fishing, traveling, and square dancing together. Never one to sit still, she also kept busy gardening, sewing, quilting, playing cards and games, and volunteering for various good causes.

In her leisure time, Della enjoyed spending time with friends in her Lucky Thirteen Group and the Hiking Club.
