Delpha was born to Leonard and Ida Maddox on July 12, 1905 in Salt Lake City, and lived her entire life in Utah. She married Lawrence Evans on October 22, 1925 in the Salt Lake Temple and raised three wonderful children. Her loving husband Lawrence passed away in 1979, and she was cared for at home by her dedicated son Robert for her last 14 years, never spending a single day in a retirement or nursing home. Delpha was a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints, devoting her life to family and service. She spent many years, working in the genealogy name extraction program for the Church. She loved to go to the temple with her husband, and served in numerous church callings. Delpha had a pure and simple pioneer spirit, never complaining about a thing. She was a true daughter of Zion, spending her life in the work and service of others. She cared deeply for her husband, children, grand and great-grand children, and she loved to cook and capture her many memories on film. She could knit, and crochet like no other, and she shared her most beautiful creations with her family. She was a gentle loving person, and not one single day passed in her one hundred year life, that she didn't brighten another's life with a warm and pleasant smile. Delpha served as a dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ - true and faithful to the very end. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit and legacy will never be forgotten.
