A devoted follower of Jesus Christ, Delayne “Tim” lived a life full of faith and compassion. She found great joy in her role as a mom, grandma, and great-grandma. She was passionate about caring for children and spent 25 years running a daycare, loving those children as well.

She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Jill (Dale) Gesner, Marlys Marsh; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Jack; and brother-in-law, Roger Marsh.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the way she touched the lives of others.
