Bud and Delores owned and operated dry cleaning businesses in Little Falls, Moorhead, and Long Prairie, working side by side for over 55 years. Delores had a true passion for sewing. She provided tailoring services for their businesses and from her home long after she and Bud retired. Delores was very giving of her time and talents, volunteering for many organizations and groups, including the VFW Auxiliary and Christian Mothers. She also created Christmas crafts and hosted her own craft show for many years. She was very athletic, bowling and playing softball well into her 50's. She was an avid Minnesota sports fan and was also known to play a mean game of 7 card rummy. Delores is survived by her two children, daughter, Cindy Sellin of St. Cloud, MN, and son, Mike (Mary) Zyvoloski of Sauk Rapids, MN. Delores leaves behind three grandchildren which she loved dearly; Michael Zyvoloski of St. Cloud, MN, Sarah Zyvoloski of Sartell, MN, and Anna (Brett) Tester of Duluth, MN, and many nieces and nephews.
