Deloris married Harry B. Linn on August 24, 1962, and was a loving wife for nearly 60 years. She attended Bondurant Federated Church for most of her life and enjoyed volunteering with Awana and singing in the choir. She worked as a school cook for nearly 33 years where her primary role was baking. Deloris enjoyed putting together puzzles, cooking, Saturday morning shopping trips, reading, playing card games, crocheting, and watching Hallmark movies.

Her greatest joy was being with family and cheering on her grandchildren at their many activities. Her family enjoyed her home-cooked meals and she often made their special requests for birthdays. She enjoyed many trips hosted by Lew and Ardy to Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, and Wyoming. On her last trip to Canada, she was proud to catch the largest fish.
