She worked many jobs but her most fulfilling was as a yard duty aide at Harding Elementary where she loved all the kids and had a positive impact on them and kept in contact with many until they graduated High School. She loved people and enjoyed meeting and befriending everyone.
During her retirement years Delfina loved to do puzzles, cook, play games on her iPad, sew, read, carry conversations with everyone she knew, spend time with her sisters, and enjoy time with her grandchildren which she loved beyond measure. She had a kindness and beauty about her that will be forever missed.
