Delia grew up on a farm and attended school through eighth grade. After that, she worked as a nanny and also worked at St Elizabeth's Hospital. Delia was united in marriage to Harry Van Roy at St John's Catholic Church in Little Chute on May 7, 1942. They worked a dairy farm in the town of Buchanan. They were members of Holy Angels/Holy Name/Holy Spirit Parish since the time of their marriage. They raised a family of 10 children. Delia was devoted to her family. She was thrifty and had a strong work ethic. She made many loaves of bread and did a lot of canning. Every bed was made every day. Even though she did not drive, she had the ability to accomplish all family functions like shopping, church and visiting family and friends. She was the potato peeling winner at family reunions. She made blankets for her grandchildren and the church. She helped prepare many school and funeral luncheons. Delia and Harry enjoyed square dancing, bowling and playing sheephead with family and friends. When their children were grown, they did some traveling.
