Grace Avonelle Lee Delger
Grace Delger, our beloved pixie-eyed, no-nonsense matriarch, having lived her 101 years to the max, set sail for heaven on June 4, 2020. She spent her final days as she spent them all, praising her family, sharing words of love and appreciation, praying to our Lord and Savior for salvation, commanding attention, and flirting with her darling nurses. Flirting with anyone of a male persuasion, really. Whenever she heard the word stubborn whispered near her, she would laser her bright blue eyes at the perpetrator and firmly say, “I am not stubborn, I am determined!” Having survived a heart attack at 86, a stroke at 100 and half-hip replacement surgery at 101, you would know she meant business.
