Del was born on February 25, 1932 in the town of St Peter in Fond du Lac County a daughter to the

worked as a nurse’s aide at Valley Manor.
Del was a member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and previously St Cloud Catholic Church.
She devoutly served in the Christian Mothers organization while her children were in grade school.
Delphina was a nurturer. She found purpose in caring for her family and the farm. She loved to grow
strawberries, pickles and flowers, and later in life she spent countless hours crocheting afghans for
friends and family. Her talents included baking – her cinnamon rolls and raspberry pies were
especially famous.
Del is survived by two sons, Eugene (Sandy) Wondra of Oneida, WI and Jeffrey (Lawanna) Wondra of
New Holstein; two daughters, Deborah (Michael) Bruning of Mondovi, WI and Christine (Richard)
