She was united in marriage to Louis Geiger on March 14, 1940 at the St. Paul's parsonage in New Ulm. After marriage they lived in Sleepy Eye where she was employed at Del Monte. They moved to New Ulm in 1952 where she worked at Ida's Café and also she and Louis worked at the Maid-Rite Café.
Delores was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother, she was always willing to help others and give all she had. While she was able, Delores loved to volunteer at the Senior Citizen's Center in New Ulm and spent much of her time there. She has taught us many things, but most important, was to always have faith and trust in God. She will be sadly missed, but remain in our hearts and our thoughts until we may join her in eternity.
