Delores McClintic
March 24, 2011
Delores McClintic, 77, of Carlisle, was welcomed home by her Savior and Friend, Thursday, March 24, 2011, at Mercy Medical Center. She was born June 12, 1933, in Des Moines, to Gerald and Margaret Preston. Delores worked in advertising at Pioneer for 17 years until her retirement in 1985. Delores enjoyed life and had a wonderful sense of humor. She was well-liked and was the type of person who never met a stranger. She greatly enjoyed crocheting and other crafts and her cooking and fudge were legendary. But above all, her family truly was the beat of her heart.
Delores is survived by her children, Denise (Carlos); Mark; and Ronda (Kent); four grandchildren, Melissa, Kaylena, C.J., and Xander; and one great-grandson, Jose. She was preceded in death by her parents, one son, and her grandparents.

In this world we go through so much. There are good times and less than good times. Every moment of each day we choose how we face and handle what comes our way. If we stay focused on God each and every day, no matter what we face, and we rely upon His strength, nothing is too much. My prayer is you will find strength in Him who loves us more than we can comprehend. Just think your mom is with Him now. She is in total peace knowing her earthly journey is over. The rest of eternity she will spend her days praising and dancing, looking forward to seeing her earthly family again. Can't you just see the smile on her face? My heart-felt condolences to you.
