Delores was born on May 23, 1956 to Larry and Peggy Silvestri in Yakima, Washington and was a treasured gift to all from that day forward. Sis graduated from Naches Valley High School at the top of her class in 1974 and went on to receive her degrees in accounting and business at City University, both of which she utilized and used up until August of last year when she fell ill.
As a child, Sis and her family enjoyed square dancing and camping, and the memories made will be golden nuggets held close to the hearts of those she leaves behind. On August 9, 1986 Sis married Rick Berghoff, her soulmate and love of her life. On June 7, 1989 they joyfully welcomed their son, Ryan into their family. They fellowshipped and worshipped at Redeemer Lutheran Church here in Yakima and have developed life long friendships with many of the brethren.
Sis was known by many to be generous – gladly sharing what she had with others – especially her love, her advice and her kindness. She will be missed by so many.
Sis is survived by her husband, Rick Berghoff, their son, Ryan of Lynnwood, WA, her sister, Karen Eakman and husband Lynn Eakman of Yakima, one niece, Jennielynn Vanwagoner of Yakima, and two nephews, Stacy Eakman of Snohomish, WA. and David Kuehl of Milton Freewater, Oregon. She is also survived by two great nieces and a great nephew. She leaves behind close cousins that were like her sisters and many longtime friends who will miss her terribly. Her passing leaves a big hole in all our hearts.
Sis was preceded in death by her mother and father.
Visitation and viewing will be held at Keith & Keith Funeral Home on Saturday, April 6, from 12:00 until 5:00 p.m. We welcome you to join us to celebrate her life on Monday, April 8, 2019.
