Mrs. Dellis was killed instantly when the two cars met on the end of a narrow bridge on the Amarillo-Fritch highway, as fog shrouded the road. State highwaymen, who investigated the tragedy, attributed the accident to the heavy blanket of fog.
Mr. and Mrs. Dellis have lived at Fritch for about the last five years, where he was an engineer for Texoma Natural Gas company.
Mrs. Dellis, whose body is at Blackburn-Shaw Funeral Home in Amarillo, is survived by her parents, who live in Lindsay, Okla., and two sisters, Mrs. Maude Sinclair of Lindsay and Mrs. M.S. Steadham of Muleshoe.
