On September 29, 1945, Deloris was united in marriage with Arthur “Art” Angerhofer. To this union, three daughters were born. Deloris and Art farmed 2 miles west of KMSD in Milbank. Having no sons, Deloris was Art’s right-hand man. They farmed a ½ section and Deloris raised and sold dressed chickens and eggs for many years.

Deloris was a faithful member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Alban Township. She was active in the church, teaching Sunday School for many years and serving as a member of the Ladies Aid.

Deloris enjoyed visits from everyone. She enjoyed spending time writing and sending cards to people on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and to those who were ill.

Deloris loved playing cards, watching Survivor, gardening, and antiques. Deloris and Art were well known for restoring and selling antique furniture after they retired from farming.
