Delores Moreland
Delores ("Dee") Priscilla Moreland, formerly of Tallmadge, Ohio passed away on Tuesday, December 13, 2005 after a long battle with Lou Gehrig's Disease. Delores was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a kind and generous friend, neighbor, and homemaker, and enjoyed cooking, gardening, painting, vacations, shopping, and family activities. Delores lived a full and enjoyable life. She worked for a short time at Firestone, Goodrich, as a real estate agent, and at the St. Thomas School of Nursing. She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Dale B. Moreland, formerly of Tallmadge and now of Orient, Ohio, daughter and son-in-law Cynthia and Thomas K. Williams, of Grove City, son and daughter-in-law Gary A. and C. Anne Moreland of Tallahassee, Florida, grandsons Thomas Dale Williams, Sr. (wife Jodie) and Jeffrey B. Williams, great-grandson Thomas D. Williams, Jr. all of Grove City, Ohio, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sisters and brother, Eleanor Livigni, Agnes Billings, Catherine Salmon, Evelyn M. Smith, Leon T. Smith, and Beatrice Dobbins, as well as a sister-in-law, Jeanne Rogers of Arizona.
Delores was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on April 2, 1926, the daughter of Peter F. and Josephine Charnowski Smith. She graduated from Akron West High School and moved with her husband to Tallmadge in 1951, where she lived until June of 2005. Her illness recently progressed to the point where she could no longer be taken care of at home, and she moved to a nursing home in Columbus area. Delores was a past member of the Mr. and Mrs. Club of Tallmadge and the First Congregational Church of Tallmadge.
It was Delores' wish that no funeral services be conducted and that she be cremated. Delores visited with many of her friends and family prior to her death, and it was her wish that she be remembered as they knew her. The family will conduct a private memorial service on Saturday. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to A.L.S. Association, Northern Ohio Chapter, 2500 E. 22nd Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44115. Cards may be sent to Dale B. Moreland at 5642 Patriot Avenue, Orient, Ohio 43146. Messages of condolence may be left at www.newcomerfamily.com.
