Delphia was a lifelong member of the Philadelphia Association of Old Regular Baptist Churches. She was a proud member of the Alice Lloyd College family. She spoke often and fondly of her time there and the opportunity that provided for her teaching in a small one room school house in Coldsprings, Ky, for a time. She was an exceptionally talented lady. She was an avid painter, poet, historian, seamstress, doll collector and most proudly, a homemaker. Above all, she was a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt. Her heart for her home and family were unmatched.
