So sorry to hear of her passing. Had been a long time good friend 🥰🥰

I remember she could crack me up with some of the things she could come up with. So sorry for your loss. Keep those memories in your hearts my prayers go out to Tammy and all the family.

So sorry to hear of Delma’s passing! Much sympathy to the family! She showed us great love and compassion at the loss of our son and attended his memorial service to give us her support! We will not forget this kindness! Blessings to you all!

Condolences to the Schell family. I have fond memories of milking cows on your family farm and always admired Delma’s work ethic and “can do” attitude.

I am so sorry to hear of Delmas passing. Being our neighbor and friend we spent alot of time with her, Tammy & Dale Jr. From 4H, to basketball games, the county fair in Steele and the occasional Saturday night together visiting as neighbors. She always had a quick smile and an awesome laugh. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless
