Celebrating The Spirit of Delia Rose Owens

On April 18, 1923, in Jones Prairie, Texas in Milam County, a wonderful, little girl was born to Dave Rose and Frances Turner-Rose.  She was named Delia.  Delia was the eighth child born to her parents.  She departed this earthly life on January 29, 2018 at 5:30 pm in Fort Worth, Texas.

She grew up in Jones Prairie until she moved to Cameron, and then to Temple, Texas.  While in Temple, she worked for Scott and White Hospital.  While working in Temple, she met Andrew "Baby" Owens.  After many years of dating, they were united in marriage.  Delia traveled the country and overseas with her husband for many years until she settled in Crockett, Texas.  To their union, two daughters were born.

Delia was a very strong believer in God.  She served as long as she could at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church.  Before that membership, she served at Bethel Baptist Church.  Both in Crockett.

For many years, Delia worked for the McClendon, Tunstall, Brewer and Carter families.

Delia loved cooking, walking, gardening, watching television and spending time with her family and friends.
