Del was born on March 23, 1933 in Meade Kansas population 1,552. She grew up on a wheat and cattle farm assisting with chores from the age of 6. After high school she moved to Denver Co and worked in banking. In 1956 she met her future husband Bob, who was in the Air Force. After a brief courtship they drove all night across the border to New Mexico, after breakfast at a local bar they went to the town hall and were married 61 years. The military moved them to California & Washington. Upon discharge from the Air Force, they drove across the country to Maine where she would spend her life.

Del worked at numerous jobs while being a support to Bob as he grew his insurance business, Paquin & Carroll. Together they raised their 3 children Bob, Gail and Michael who meant the world to her, and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them. It was all about having fun, loads of love and making every day feel special! She was a super mom, and a fantastic grandmother. She was loved by many for her kindness and fun loving ways.

Del is survived by her children Gail Shaw Godbout and husband Dan, Michael Shaw and wife Vicky, Bob Shaw and wife Kelly and grandsons Benjamin and Cameron and his wife Sage.

Del was pre deceased by her parents Elias and Elizabeth Friesen, her husband Bob and her brothers Howard and Ronald.
