Delphi was a longtime resident of the Crescent City, Calif., and Brookings, Ore., areas. In 1988 Delphi and Paul moved to Post Falls, where they made a loving and caring home. She enjoyed traveling and being in the outdoors with her husband and family. Many people knew her as the beautiful, smiling and happy lady at Trading Company Store in Post Falls. She loved to volunteer and help others in any way she could.

Cooking was a passion that brought joy to her and everyone who ate her food! In recent years Delphi and Paul enjoyed traveling and enjoying the beautiful sights of the local area. She is very loved and will be deeply missed.

Services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, June 20, 2012, at St. George’s Catholic Church, 2004 N. Lucas St., Post Falls. The family requests any memorial contributions to be sent to Hospice of North Idaho.
