Della was born December 13, 1929, in La Porte City, Iowa, the daughter of Leroy "Curly" and Edna Thompson Derifield;. Her mother died when she was six and she spent two years with the Trimble family of Cedar Rapids and then was raised and adopted by Martin and Alice Van Erem of Waterloo. She attended Waterloo schools and graduated from West High School in 1947.
Della married Dale R. "Doc" Kimball on December 19, 1947 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Waterloo; he died September 2, 2008.
Della worked as the Food Service Manager at West Intermediate School for 30 years. She was a proud mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was a member of Grace Lutheran Church and active with Pie Ladies, Grace Greetings and helped with funeral luncheons there.

We give thanks for mom's love of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, her beloved dog Sophie, and the many years of family times at Lake Delhi. She enjoyed her many friendships, being a "Pie Lady" and being active shopping and driving her car until recently.
