Deloris passed away on Friday, October 23, 2015 at Crestview Care Center in Chadron, NE. She was born on May 24, 1924 in Fairfax, SD to Martha and George Walth, the eldest of the family. She lived with her family on a small farm near Fairfax until she met and married her spouse, Edmund C. Eitler, on January 1, 1944. They were married in Hay Springs, NE, where they lived on a small farm south of town for about 55 years.
Deloris attended school in Fairfax, where she earned her high school diploma, which she was very proud of, and never missed a class reunion until she became unable to attend.
She lived most of her life on the farm as a very busy farm wife, raising two sons, Gary Lee, born on December 4, 1951 and Douglas Edmund, born on July 14, 1954. She also raised a large garden and preserved everything she could and was very generous to share whatever she could with anyone in need. She enjoyed gardening, and even though she grew an extensive vegetable garden that supported their family all year, she also was quite proud of her flowers. She loved to grow roses and always seemed to have several varieties most every summer.
Deloris was also a very dedicated member to the Zion Lutheran Church in Hay Springs and very active in the ladies’ aid.
She is survived by siblings Don (Phyllis) Walth and Phyllis (Don) Shipman; sons Gary (Nancy) and Douglas (Robin); grandchildren Douglas Jr. (Ashley) Corbin, Heather (Brian) Rainwater, Tracy (Anthony) Garza, Casey and April; and 18 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by husband Edmund, mother Martha Guthmiller and sister Shirley Pelch.
Chamberlain Drabbels Mortuary of Hay Springs is in charge of arrangements for Deloris Lorraine Eitler.
