When you think of Delitha you can see her warm heart and loving smile. She never met a stranger. She was naturally attracted to people because she liked to talk. She was concerned for others, especially her family. She loved working Avon with her daughter. She worked several jobs at various times in her life, but her favorite was working at Medical Center which is where she retired. Ann’s favorite friends were the Doctors staff whom she would freely offer a kind smile and a piece of candy. Ann liked to pick and play with her new friends and especially her family. She enjoyed traveling and she loved to fish and spend time at her favorite camp house at the Attoyac Hunting Club. You could often find her riding the “Rhino” and visiting to all of the folks around there. Delethia loved her dogs and treated them as family. She was fun loving and enjoyed life. She always had a smile. You knew that Delithia loved the Lord by the way she treated people and strangers. She received her greatest Christmas gift ever by leaving this earth and joining her Savior in Heaven. Her family and friends will miss her greatly, but they look forward to the day they see her again in the Promised Land.
