Delores was one of ten children born on August 8, 1928 (8/8/28 if asked) in Fairmont, Minnesota to Henry and Elizabeth Dibble. DeDe, (high school nickname), was a 1948 graduate of Fairmont high school whom soon married Melvin Carl Hutchison November 21, 1948 after the fall harvest season. The union was blessed with five children and 71 years together, after the passing of Melvin Hutchison the fall of 2019. Delores lived her life by the words written on the front cover of her Bible: Work for Christ. What You Believe, You will Practice. Delores loved her 14 grand children and holding a new baby, grand or otherwise, was the highlight of her year. DeDe was game for Kings Corners between hands of Solitare with any of her grandchildren, but must not interfere with her “shows”. Delores often kept her fingers busy watching her shows by crocheting items for any milestone: births, birthdays, graduation, weddings or just because. Delores looked forward to the opportunity of eating out because no cooking was required, which she did not much enjoy. Delores AKA: DeDe, Mom, Grandma, Itty Bitty or (insert nickname you recall). Mom will be missed by her five children, Dennis of Staples, Karen (John) Mehr of Paynesville, Peggy of Cokato, June (Pat) Pawelk of Howard Lake and DeeAnn (Lawrence) Hayes of Akeley. Grandma found delight upon the birth and watching the growth of fourteen Grandchildren, 27 Great Grandchildren and ten Great Great Grandchildren, youngest due in August. Delores was proceeded in death by her husband, Melvin, all of her siblings (four brothers and five sisters) in addition to her parents. Delores wishes for her final resting place to be with her Daddy in Fairmont. Delores’s family extends Graditude for the care, time and loving patience shared by all with both Delores and Melvin during their stays at The Manor, Lakewood Care Center and Hospice in addition to Church of Christ in Staples (Pastor Barry). Melvin and Delores were surrounded by caregivers and friends whom seemed more like family. In remembrance of Delores and Melvin, family prefers donations to Lakewood Foundation : Aging Gracefully-Hospice or Lakewood Manor to Honor the Support and Care. https://www.lakewoodhealthsystem.com/about-us/foundation/donate/ YouTube Link Scheduled for Unlisted Funeral Service- Wednesday 4/28 at 2pm.
