A graduate of Everett High School, Delma was always interested in medicine and being of service to others.

Delma was also heavily involved with Brickerville EMS and Warwick EMS, where she volunteered for over 30 years total between the two. She also was an instructor for CPR training through the Red Cross and American Heart Association.

Delma was a skilled crafter and loved to sew, knit, and crochet. Her talent was used to make her daughter's wedding dress, many gifts for family and friends, prayer shawls, and items for charity. Delma donated her hand made hats and booties for pre-mature babies at Lancaster General and made angel gowns for still born babies through Share of Lancaster. She also enjoyed flowers and tending to her garden, where she took pride in her beautiful blooms. A loving wife, mother, and grandmother, she cherished her time with her grand and great-grandchildren and family.
