DELORES RUTH TAYLOR STAFFEN
Delores Ruth Taylor Staffen passed away on April 29, 2017 at home with her 
children.

Delores was born Feb. 12, 1931, the daughter of Willard and Geraldine Taylor 
of Clarksville. She attended school in Lake Odessa and Saranac. She married 
Richard Clayton Staffen in 1952 and moved to the Dowling area. She worked at 
Hastings Piston Ring, Ben Franklin, the Co-op in Charlton Park and later was 
a volunteer for the Dowling Public Library.

After retirement, Dick and Dee moved to their farm on Cloverdale Road. She 
had four children, Timothy and Sherry Staffen, Janet Foss Staffen, Kristina 
Staffen and Mikel and Dawn Wright Staffen.

She enjoyed their time on the retirement farm by gardening, canning, 
knitting, puzzles and working hard along with her husband to raise a small 
herd of cows and pigs. She loved to visit Tucson, AZ. with her children.

Delores was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Richard; daughter, 
Janet Foss Staffen; two sisters, Virginia Livingston and Mary Lou Bliss; 
brother-in-law, Wayne Livingston; one brother, Gene Taylor; nephews, Joe 
Storm, Daniel Storm and Chance Livingston.

She left behind a dear friend, Janeen Fruin.

A gracious thank you to all her friends and Diane from Barry county 
Commission on Aging. She will always be remembered for keeping ever busy with 
her many crafts, her famous cowboy cookies, beautiful knitted blankets and 
her many other crafts and artworks.

She will be interned with her husband at Dowling Cemetery and her family will 
take her to her favorite place, Sabino Canyon, AZ.

In lieu of flowers, she would wish any kind of donations be given to the 
Barry County Commission on Aging.
