Della was a proud and loyal O.U. fan and an all-around sports enthusiast. Her sense of humor and love of life were unmatched. She delighted in sending light-hearted cards for birthdays and holidays, spreading smiles to everyone she knew. Her beloved dogs were her constant companions and truly like her children.
