Delores was born May 27, 1935 in Sioux Lookout. She received her education at the Sioux Lookout Public School. In her early years she worked as a nurses aide at the Sioux Lookout Zone Hospital. She worked for many years at the former Muriel Boyle Centre and then at the First Step Womens Shelter. Mom has for many years been a foster parent for Kenora-Patricia Child and Family Services. She was a member of the Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Moms favourite pastime was playing bingo. She enjoyed the outdoors and always took pleasure in fishing and going up to camp. The family would like to thank Dr. ODriscoll and the nursing staff of the Sioux Lookout District Health Centre. A memorial service was held at the St. Marys Anglican Church with Rev. Susan Barclay officiating. Internment will be at a later date.
