life of the Oakley Christian Church working with many ministry efforts 
including VBS, teaching Sunday School, serving as Deaconess, and helping
 with Bible Bowl. She enjoyed helping with the churches Centennial 
celebration. 


Delma’s hobbies included square dancing, photography, writing, 
traveling, including a very special anniversary trip to Europe and 
helping raise all the wonderful and unique animals on the farm.  She 
loved hosting all the various area school’s field trips each spring.  
Especially enjoyable was seeing the kids that they hosted return in 
later life with their kids and then their grandkids.


Delma was a founding member of the Camilla Club and remained an active 
member throughout the organizations time. She also loved her Red Hats 
organization going on many day trips with them throughout the years. She
