So many memories of Delma growing up on Davis Creek. We are fast losing an era of role models. My prayers to the family and relatives, we will always have our memories to cherish of Delma’s sweet soul.
She was a foodland/IGA staple. Always seen her growing up. The McCallister family.
Such a great lady will really miss her. My God give you comfort in this time of sorrow.
Delma was a lovely person. She was kind, caring and always had a smile. My family and my extended family knew Delma since they all grew up together on Davis Creek. She will be missed. My deepest sympathy, my condolance and prayers for Glenn and his family.
RIP a wonderful lady that touched a lot of people’s lives. Prayers and sympathy to the family
My thoughts and prayers to everyone. She was one terrific lady. Always had a smiling face at iGA. Will be missed by all
For those of us who had the pleasure of working with her at Foodland/IGA, all I can say- a great loss. She was always positive, with a smile on her face and gave us young “kids” a run for our money- she had more energy than anyone. I started calling her “Mamaw” when I worked there over 20 years ago- and she will forever be Mamaw to me.
Praying for her family and the friends she made– you will always be special to me. Rest now- you earned it. <3
She was a wonderful person…always up beat full of life! She will be missed
Sorry for the lost, she was loved by all.. Never met a sweetheart like Delma. .. May you fly high .. Love and prayers to her family…
We love all of you, and Delma was a pistol; such a hard worker and straight-shooter, a truly fine lady, so generous of heart, loved to have lots of people in her kitchen eating….but you’d better hold onto your plate or it would be washed before you were finished eating! What a sweetheart and surely HEAVEN’S GAIN now that she is up there! She will be sorely missed.
So sad to hear of Delma’s passing. Delma was a gracious woman. She will be greatly missed. Karen and Doug Hudson
Delma will be missed for sure. She was a gracious woman. Always enjoyed talking with her. Karen and Doug Hudson
My thoughts and prayers to Delmas family. She was an awesome lady! Loved seeing her at IGA and sitting on her porch as I passed. She was deffinately on top of the list of best things about living in Davis Creek.
RIP Delma, you will be missed…
