Obituary for Delores J. Stouffer
Delores J. Stouffer, 79, formerly of Roxbury, late of Shippensburg, departed this life on the afternoon of Friday, July 22, 2022, at her home, surrounded by her family.
She was born on January 7, 1943, in Cleversburg, a daughter of the late Wilbur T. and Mary M. (Helm) Kelso, Sr. Delores married Harold E. Stouffer on November 25, 1961. He preceded her in death on October 5, 2000.
Delores worked at the former Stanley Co., Chambersburg, for twenty nine years, retiring as a presser. She attended the Lurgan United Brethren Church, was a member of the Durff-Kuhn V.F.W. Post #6168 Ladies Auxiliary, and a life member of the L.S.L Sportsman’s Association.
In her free time Delores liked to read romance novels, craft, play BINGO, and was known to cheat when playing cards. She also really enjoyed going to watch races at the Path Valley Speedway. Among her family members it was well known that if they came by for a visit, she would most likely send them home with some type of food item. Family was most important to Delores and she tried to take good care and spend as much time as she could with them.

In addition to her parents and husband, Delores was preceded in death by a grandson, Josh Stouffer; four brothers; three sisters; and a sister-in-law, Doris Rine, who was also her best friend.
Her funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Fogelsanger-Bricker Funeral Home & Crematorium, Inc., Shippensburg.
