Della worked at Habig's Casuals for over 25 years. Della was a master gardener and avid bird watcher. She loved nothing more than grabbing her binoculars and sitting for hours just watching her beloved birds. Della was loving and compassionate. She loved to take care of others and never had an unkind word to say about anyone. Della was the one that the family called in those unexpected emergencies, as she always handled them with empathy, kindness and determination. Most of all Della enjoyed spending time with her family. She was a fierce protector of her children and will be missed dearly.
