Still Living∼The 12th born of 13 siblings, Delbert grew up on the family farm in Rigby, working with his brothers and sisters. He learned at an early age to work hard and always do his very best. He always enjoyed riding his favorite horse, Snakes. Snakes was his preferred mode of transportation to get him back and forth to friends' houses and town. His passion his entire life was sports. He loved playing, watching, cheering, and refereeing all sports. His favorite sports to play were softball and basketball. Because his family was so large they were known to field an entire softball team. After graduating from Rigby High School, he worked various jobs around Blackfoot, Idaho. He met the love of his life, Nettie Wallace while working one of those jobs. Sparks flew and they were married June 28th, 1957. Together they are the proud parents of six amazing children: Kristine (Gary) Ritchie, Delroy (Irene) Baron, Susan (Richard) Wolfley, Elouise (Pat) Curcio, Bert Baron and Dawnette (Kevin) Hansen. Their posterity continues with 16 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Shortly after marrying Nettie they moved from Blackfoot to Orange & San Diego California. They worked together to manage a pool plastering office. While living in Orange, California Delbert had the opportunity to coach a young men's church softball team. They made it all the way to the All Church Tournament in Salt Lake City. It was one of his favorite memories and accomplishments. After living in California for 12 years they returned to Blackfoot, where they purchased a small grocery store and several apartments. Delbert also worked as a custodian at Blackfoot High School. His favorite job was driving for Miles Bus Company. He enjoyed that job for over 38 years. He loved seeing the young children and getting them to and from school safely. Delbert also loved transporting high school sports teams to their games so he could watch and cheer them on. This experience helped him stay connected to the sports he loved. Delbert also enjoyed golfing with his sons, son-in-law's and grandsons. As he got older and Parkinson's took control of his muscles and motor skills, not being able to golf anymore with the family was tough on him. In 2017 Delbert & Nettie moved to Washington, Utah. By then Delbert had been diagnosed with Parkinson's and they felt the warmer weather, all one level living and clean air would help with his ailing condition. He passed away at the Ridgeview Gardens Assisted Living Center. Delbert was precedied by 11 of his siblings. Survived by his wife, six children and a brother. Funeral services held on Friday Oct 29th, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at the LDS chapel at 860 N Fairway Drive in Washington.
