She is survived by her husband A.J. Wynkoop; one daughter, Christeena (Nick) Schaefer; two sons, Keith (Laura Nelson) Wynkoop and Calvin (Leslie) Wynkoop; two grandsons, Kevin (Jean) Denny and Justin (Rebecca) Talmadge; step-grandchildren Harvest Smith, Natalie Schaefer, and Alex Schaefer; great-grandson, Jared Talmadge; sister Bonnie Miller; and brother Leon Owens . She was preceded in death by her parents and one sister, Juanita Ward and granddaughter Angel Wynkoop.

Delores was a stay-at-home mom most of her life, later working part time and then full time in various clerical positions. Her home and family were immensely important to her. She loved reading, music, crocheting, painting, camping, and trail bike riding.
