Delois attended schools in the Turner County Public School System and graduated from Eureka High School in 1967.
Delois confessed her faith in God at an early age, and joined the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Shingler, Georgia. She loved the church and attended faithfully until her health declined.
Delois was united in Holy Matrimony to the late Artice Robertson. This union was blessed with two children.
Delois worked in the textile industry until her mother became ill. She then became her mother’s caregiver. A devoted mother and grandmother, Delois was more than happy to be the central figure in the lives of her daughter, Angela, and her only grandson, MarKevian. Anyone who knew Delois knew why these two were the stars in her eyes, and the only things that ever mattered to her. She deeply cared for her family, friends and neighbors.
