Deloris was born on December 28, 1932, to Fredrich Hettich and Rosalia Kahler in Edmunds County, SD. She attended school in the Roscoe area where she graduated from high school.
On June 21, 1953, she married her high school sweetheart Myron “Pat” Lehr. They had two children; Carey and Karen. Following Myron’s honorable discharge, they moved to Rapid City, SD where they stayed until moving back to Roscoe to take over the family farm in the spring of 1956. Deloris and Myron remained on the farm until health issues forced them to move to an assisted living in Aberdeen.
Deloris is fondly remembered for her cooking and baking. She loved her vegetable garden and grew and canned anything that was edible. She enjoyed traveling with Myron on the bus tours when they were in their 50s and 60s. After Pats passing she enjoyed creating diamond art and participating in the activities at Bethesda. Deloris’ greatest joy was spending time with and spoiling her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Grateful for having shared Deloris’ life are her son, Carey (Sharon) Lehr; grandchildren, Angela (Chris) Hermansen, Ashley (Sylvester) David, and Justin Lehr; great grandchildren, Lincoln, Logan, and Lauren Hermansen, Joshua David, Maxwell Lehr, and Emma Crossly; and her sister, Elsie (Clifford) Hanson.
