Delphia married Laverne Fudge on November 4, 1946 and together they raised 4 wonderful children. She worked as a waitress for Pump Handle Inn for 10 years and the Sweden House for 12 years. Delphia loved her family and always looked forward to having everyone over for the holidays. She enjoyed meeting her friends, Dorothy and Marge for lunch or little trips together. She had a very pleasant attitude and personality but wasn’t afraid to tell you like it was. Delphia was the type of person that would always have food or a coffee ready for anyone. She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her.
