Her chosen career path was as a homemaker raising her children, doing housekeeping, and helping others as a CNA.

Delna said if people ask how to remember her, she commented: "Remember to always be happy. There is nothing that you cannot conquer without a smile. Remember that no matter how bad a situation is, there is always something worse that could happen. God always watches over you. Have you ever smelt moth balls? How did you get his little legs apart. If you can always laugh, you will see a brighter horizon."
