She was a hard worker all her life. When she was young she picked cotton in the fields with her family. As she got older she worked for Joe Grieve Grocery as a checkout clerk and Prototype Machine where she worked until her retirement.
Della enjoyed spending her free time on the farm with her animals and garden. She also loved to spend time at the convenience store with her cup of coffee scratching lotto tickets. She loved her coffee! When she wasn’t enjoying those things you could catch her on her sister Annie’s front porch playing dominos or in Moulton with her sisters playing bingo.
Della loved her family with all her heart. She loved to pick her grandkids up from school and spoil them with treats, and on Sundays she would make big meals so all the family could enjoy and spend time together.
She was a devout Catholic and was a lifelong member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
