When in the States, he called Camp Pendleton home, and always considered himself a West Coast Military man. For a time, they lived in Cardiff and Manteca where they raised their son, David. Deloris worked as a librarian for many years. She served at Golden West School District in California and at Purcell Middle School for a time, and also for Pioneer Library system. Her greatest joy however was being a homemaker. She cherished her family and was never happier than when she became a grandma. She had a servant’s heart, and volunteered many years for the Red Cross and Women’s Circle. She loved arranging flowers, and could make anything with her hands.
