Known as Lyle Jasperson in her early years.
d/o Calvin and Della (Rowley) Jasperson; w/o Dr. Robert Stansbury; Edward Henry Houtz; and, Timothy Edgeworth Downey
Sadly, in 1922, when Della was only 2 years old, her mom passed away from Cholera. This left Della (2) and younger brother Vearl (8 months old) motherless. They were then raised by their paternal grandmother, Laura Alice Dean Horton Jasperson in Goshen, Utah. Della loved and fondly talked about her Grandma Alice and the many skills she taught her, including manners, canning, and sewing. But tragedy struck again in 1933 when Alice died from tuberculosis. Now aged 13, Della, along with Calvin and Vearl, went to Eureka, Utah, where she took care of them while attending school.
Full of energy and inquisitive by nature she enjoyed staying busy and traveling. She became a nurse and worked with her husband, Dr. Robert Stansbury, who passed away in 1984. She was a resident of Palmdale and Lancaster for 50 plus years and a lifetime member of Soroptimist International.
She joined her family in Heaven, including brother Vearl and sister Donna. She is survived by three daughters and grandchildren.
