Delores entered Sun Dial Manor in 2014 and lived there until her death. The family would like to thank the exceptional care of all at Sun Dial Manor staff, and for putting up with some of her antics.
Delores enjoyed playing cards and shopping, especially groceries. She loved to bake, drink coffee and cherished spending time with her grandson, Jared. She will be greatly missed by many. She was a special person to those that knew her.
She is survived by her one daughter, Brenda (Doug) Lesher of Pierpont; one grandson, Jared of Wichita, KS; sister, Shirley (Dean) Eastman; one brother-in-law, Emmet (Judy) Anderson; and many nieces and nephews.
