  Delores Mae Groff 
   
  LEBANON Delores Mae Groff, 74, left us to join the Lord on Wednesday, October 
  13, 2010, after a prolonged battle with heart disease, diabetes, lupus, kidney 
  malfunction, anemia and fibromialgia. She was the daughter of the late William 
  A. Sourwine and Eleana Rittle and sister of the late William Sourwine and 
  Robert Sourwine. Delores is survived by the love of her life, Leroy Souders; 
  daughters, Catherine Meluccio, Lenina McCord and Maria Miller; as well as seven 
  grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and siblings, Elaine Krah, Celia Meyers 
  and Arthur Sourwine. Also surviving are the too-many-to-list who Delores loved 
  as her own children throughout her life. As a single mom, Delores met all of 
  her life challenges with zeal and grace. Her best advice was always to do the 
  best you can and leave the rest to the Lord. Delores was very proud of 
  instilling her values of honesty, strength and independence in her daughters 
  and, once they were grown, stepped in as "Mom" to many who were not lucky 
  enough to have her by birth. Born a proud American, Delores served her country 
  in the U.S. Air Force from 1954 to 1956 and continued to be a supporter of the 
  American Legion throughout her life. Retired from San Giorgio Macaroni Company, 
  she worked long and hard hours for many years progressing from factory worker 
  to professional as she joined and remained a lifelong member of the American 
  Business Women's Association. Always a giving person, Delores was a staunch 
  supporter of many charities even when she had little to share. Specifically, 
  organizations concerned with the welfare of American Indian children and animal 
  rights were always close to her heart. Delores' life will be celebrated at St. 
  Mary's Church, 2 N 8th St., Lebanon, on Saturday at 12 p.m. Interment will 
  immediately follow at Grandview Memorial Park Annville, 500 N Weber Street, 
  Lebanon. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your 
  choice with Delores in your thoughts and heart.
