James Morris, with whom she shared many happy years.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Lois was happiest surrounded by
her family. She loved fishing, bowling, playing cards, and cheering for her beloved Chicago Cubs.
Camping was one of her greatest joys, a tradition she shared not only with her children but also
with her grandchildren, creating memories that will last for generations.
Lois is survived by her children, Richard (Michele) Delk of Littleton, CO, and Sandy (Craig
Ingamells) Alber of Manchester, IA; grandchildren Jason (Beth) Alber, Micky Alber, Jonathon Delk,
and Jennifer Delk; and great-grandchildren Breka and Devin Alber, and Colton Alber. She is also
survived by step children Jim (Mary) Morris and Raymond Morris; step son-in-law, Wayne Payne;
several step-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Lillian Harris; her brother, Hector Harris; her
husbands, Frank Delk and Jim Morris; her son, Dave Delk; step children, Daniel Morris and Jody
Payne.

Lois will be remembered for her warm heart, her love for family, and the joy she brought to
everyone who knew her. The family would like to thank all who loved and supported Lois throughout her life.
