Deloris was born in Zearing, Iowa, on March 16, 1935, to Wilton and Eva (Ruxton) Reese. She grew up in Zearing, where she attended Zearing High School and graduated with the class of 1953. Deloris married the love of her life, Larry Clark, on November 14, 1954, at the Zearing Christian Church. The couple moved to St. Anthony, where they began their family together. Deloris was a wonderful homemaker, wife, and mother to her family. In retirement, they moved to Shertz, Texas.
