Delores grew up on a farm near Shenandoah, Iowa and graduated from Shenandoah High School in 1953. Delores was united in marriage to Kenneth L. Lindell on June 20, 1954 at Essex, Iowa. After Kenneth finished mortuary school, they moved to Red Oak in 1957. They lived in Glenwood and Harlan, before returning to Red Oak in 1966, when Kenneth began working at Sellergren Funeral Home. They purchased the Sellergren Funeral Home in January of 1969. Delores worked side by side with Kenneth at the funeral home until they retired in January 1991.

Delores loved her family and adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She and Kenneth enjoyed spending time with family and friends, winters in Texas, golfing and playing bridge and other card games. She was a 'people person' and was always willing to help others.
