In 1971, Delores began working as a baker and cook for the Harlan (Iowa) Community High School; she held this position until her retirement in 1994.

Delores was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Harlan. She was a great cook who took pleasure in making sure her hungry family was always well-fed. Delores enjoyed scrapbooking and making various crafts, and she and Keith tended their booth at craft fairs for many years.
