She worked at Midwestern Life Insurance Company in Enid for over 30 years, retiring as assistant vice president. After retirement, she volunteered at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center for 30 years, until moving to Arbor House Assisted Living Center in Mustang.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles; her parents; sister, Thelma Steiger; stepson, Terry Dellinger; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
