Dearest to Delia, and important above all else, was her unwavering, steadfast and profound love of her husband and children. Family was second to none for Delia. She was a proud and dedicated mother, wife, daughter, sister, and aunt. Delia was always a shining example of all that is good and beautiful in the world, showing everyone the truest meaning of family and love.

Delia worked tirelessly with diligence, competence, and with purpose of making the lives of others better. The commitment she had to her profession is evident in the voices of the many people of Labrador with whom she worked with unwavering dedication to support.
