• Notes

  She married Jimmie Ferguson on June 28, 1947, in Morganfield. He preceded her in death on March 10, 1975. She later met Glen Dawkins and together they shared a very special relationship for more than 30 years until his death on Feb. 10, 2012. Delta will be remembered best for her dedication and expression of love and care for her husband, children and grandchildren. She was of the Christian faith, took great care in making her home a welcoming place, and enjoyed sewing and craftingg. She had worked for the International Shoe Factory, was a waitress, and was a caretaker of both the young and the elderly. During the last 30 years she enjoyed traveling with Glen to places like Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and throughout the United States. Delta enjoyed visitors in her home and believed "the more the merrier." She opened her home and heart, especially when demonstrating her ability for making a good meal, and always telling houseguests goodbye with a genuine, "Come back!"
