Delores Ann Reed, the daughter of Willis LeRoy and Alma Anna (Weifenbach) Dawkins, was born in Holly Springs, Iowa on April 30, 1929 and passed away in Norfolk, Nebraska on January 19, 2019, at the age of 89.
She grew up and attended schools in Albion, St. Edward and Aurora. Delores worked in the bakery at Aurora and helped take care of her four younger siblings.
Delores married Deryl Reed on May 16, 1945 at Marysville, Kansas. To this union they had six children: Deryl, Deanna, David, Deborah, Daniel and Donna. They spent their early married life in the Aurora area, before moving to Oklahoma so Deryl could attend Bethany Nazarene College to study for the ministry. His role as pastor took them to several towns in both Nebraska and Oklahoma. He also was a social worker in the towns he served. Deryl passed away on December 30, 1993. Delores took charge of keeping the church doors open after Deryl passed. While raising their family Delores worked at many nursing homes in the towns they lived.
