She graduated from Spencer High School and was crowned the 1936 Wisconsin Dairy Queen at the Wisconsin State Fair. Her beauty, curiosity, good humor, industry and integrity attracted Calvin Elvere Cook. They were married on Aug. 21,1939, in Spencer.

Delores was proud to be a homemaker and considered motherhood to be her most important role. She knew no strangers and her circle of friends was forever growing.

In lieu of flowers, memorials appreciated to the Friends of Rib Mountain or the Skylight Theatre Costume Department.
