On August 31, 2019, Donna Jean Delay, 81, of Paw Paw, IL went to be with the Lord while at home, after a courageous battle with Sarcoidosis. Donna was born on November 22, 1937 in Cambridge City, IN, the daughter of Wayne and Hilda (Usher) Stephens. She married Ronald Delay on December 31, 1957 in Westwood, IN.
Donna was a homemaker and worked 20 years at Walmart. She loved reading books, sewing, camping and spending time with family. She and Ron always enjoyed a good game of Fasttrack (“He cheated” as she would always say!).
Donna is survived by her loving husband Ron of 61 years, four children, Greg Delay of Earlville, IL, Chris (Diane) Delay of Sugar Land, TX, Penny (Tim) Slaughterback of Springfield, IL and Joetta (Jeff Svendsen) Delay of West Brooklyn, IL. Eight grandchildren Joshua (Katie) Slaughterback of Franklin, IL, Matthew (Janet) Delay of La Porte, TX, Kevin (Ariel) Raymer of Rockford, IL, Kyle (Stacy) Raymer of Fort Huachuca, AZ, Jordan (Erin) Delay of Richmond, TX, Alicia Slaughterback of Chatham, IL, Brittney Raymer of Liberty Township, OH and Alexis (Jordan Hendren) Raymer of Casper, WY and eight great grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her parents, one brother, Ronald Stephens and one sister, Viola Watson.
