Delia Acevedo, 87, of Lancaster went home to be with the Lord on November 27, 2021. Her parents were Saturnino Acevedo and Juana Mendez, both of Moca, Puerto Rico. She was born in Moca, PR and moved to Lancaster in 1987.

Delia was a very independent woman who lived on her own until her last year of life. She was funny and spirited and knew how to make others laugh. She loved talking on the phone and would often call her sons, granddaughters, and nephews to see what they were doing and make sure they ate a good meal. She loved having company and would always offer coffee and crackers for unexpected visitors, if she didn't have a pot of rice and beans already cooking. Her favorite phrase was "God Bless You," and she bestowed that blessing on everyone who entered and left her home.

Delia is survived by her sons, Jr Gonzalez and Adrian Valentín, both of Lancaster; her grandchildren, Aaron Miller, Meagan Gonzalez (Wife of John Adams), Alyssa Gonzalez, and Donato Almonte, all from Lancaster; Eduardo Valentín, Adrian Valentín Jr, and Raymond Valentín, from Springfield, MA; her great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Delia Gonzalez. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her.
