She married Alvin Radtke on December 15, 1952, four children resulted from that marriage. They later divorced in 1968. God and family were very important to Deloris. She raised her family alone, while also buying the Radtke Family Homestead on Hamilton Falls Road in Stanley. While working a full-time job as a sole provider of her family, her perseverance and strong Christian values were never more evident. Deloris loved family, was an excellent cook and baker, a quilter, and had a green thumb. Her plants, yard, and garden were the envy of many. Deloris worked over 30 years at Northern Center in Chippewa Falls. She loved her job, but said her best job was retirement. In October of 2002, Deloris was reunited with a schoolmate, Robert Bigelow.
