Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I have many fond memories of Dellane from our times at Anderson Hospital. She was a kind, caring person, a friend and an excellent R.N. My sympathies and prayers go out to her family.

  2. I'm so sorry for you loss – Terry and Forsbergs! She was always a delight, enjoying being with family and friends! God bless you all as you sadly grieve your loss and yet celebrate her life!

  3. Dellane was a caring and patient woman. She was a Den Mother during Cub Scouts and was a saint to keep all us boys corralled and out of mischief. She always had our attention around the dining room table with her crafts, projects and love. She would continue to encourage me as I developed into my profession and my in path in life. She always had a big smile and hug for you. My deepest and most sincere condolences to you Terry and Daniel. She will be missed and always appreciated. Jim Tarasuik

  4. Dellane was the sweetest lady to know; always a smile and kind word. Our Sympathy to Terry and the rest of her family. She was definitely a family woman; very proud and always let you know it. Wish I could have teased her for being a Cubs Fan; and Royals, too. Whenever I hear a Beatles song, my favorites, too, I'll say a little prayer for Dellane. God Bless her soul. Miss her, already!

  5. I cant believe you are gone. You are now at peace with Uncle Del, my dad Uncle Bob (pete), and Toni. You have such a lovely soul. What a gift heaven received when you closed your eyes for the last time. I love you and my sincere condolences for all that knew her, and especially for her immediate family and her dog Barney! Nancy (cousin)
