She was an outstanding caregiver and willingly provided loving care to both her husband Barry and at the same time her father-in-law, Cecil Byrd. Barry died on September 30, 2017 and her father-in-law died March 26, 2018. Later she moved in with her parents to take care of their daily needs.
Delania's big heart at one time, included dogs, and she was a wonderful "Dog Mom". She was a collector of Indian art, figurines, and paintings, as she was a registered member of the Choctaw tribe. She really enjoyed attending drag races in Ennis, Texas. She had a long career with Subway and excelled in customer relations. Delania was dependable and hard-working. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
She was preceded in death by her husband Barry Byrd; father-in-law, Cecil Byrd.
She is survived by her parents, James and Velma (Slayton) Auldridge; sister, Renee Burton; brother, James "Ben" Auldridge; an extended family of cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
