Delphia is survived by her three daughters: Debra R. Bluebaum, Donna L. (Steven) McCue, and Dee Ann (John) Bridgewater; eight grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, as well as many wonderful nieces and nephews that she dearly loved.
While growing up, Delphia was a member of Brown’s Corner Chapel where she accepted Christ as her Savior. Delphia graduated from Shields High School in Seymour, where she met the love of her life, Donald F. Lucas. They were wed on September 13, 1953. Immediately after the wedding, Donald left for the service and duty in Korea, and returned to his bride in 1955. Delphia worked as a secretary at Cummins until they started a family. Delphia was a homemaker and raised three daughters. After the children were grown, Delphia and Donald enjoyed yard work and raising flowers and the fellowship of Calvary Nazarene Church.
