Delores M. Crockett
Delores Crockett, 74, of Bonne Terre passed away October 14, 2017 at Country Meadows Nursing Home. She was born on January 13, 1943 in Freedom, Oklahoma to the late Jason and Iola (VanPelt) Welty. Delores had the blessing of sharing her birthday with her daughters, Amy and Keri. This made for a very special celebration every year. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by Byron Crockett and a son, Jamie Lee Crockett.
Delores was a member of the First Church of the Nazarene in Park Hills. Everyone that knew Delores knew that she loved her church. She also loved reading western novels, taking road trips, watching old movies and making jewelry. She graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture and Art from Southeast Missouri State. She received her Masters of Science degree in Horticulture from Kansas State. Delores was pursuing her PhD at Kansas State at which time she made the decision to relocate to Missouri in order to be closer to her family. Her favorite time of the year was Christmas. She brought joy and many traditions to her family, from her children to her grandchildren that we will never forget.
Delores is survived by three daughters, Terisa Allen and husband John of Bonne Terre, Amy Burdine and husband Aaron of Medina, Ohio, Keri (Crockett) Stegall and husband Steven of Bonne Terre; eight grandchildren, John Patrick, Byron, Jace and Joseph Allen, Kyle and Daniel Burdine, Gavin Crockett and Baylee Roberts; siblings, Beverly Welty Larson, Juanita Welty, Katherin Galieti and Robert Welty..
