Delia Metzger Obituary

Our hearts go out to the Metzger Clan, Tony, Pam, Craig and Michelle, our neighbors and friends, and to all the brothers and sisters and grandchildren of Ray and Delia.

Sitting in Tony and Pam's house, drinking coffee, and sharing dumb jokes with Ray and Delia was the best. Ray's sense of humor and Delia's smile and kindness will always be remembered. Both myself and mom, are praying for Ray and Delia, and for the family. They will be missed.

Love, Louise and Char

So sad to hear about "Gram and Big Daddy." They were both so much a part of my life growing up...their generous spirit and caring ways will always be remembered.

My prays to Tony, Pam and the entire Metzger family. You all have a special place in my heart.

With deepest sympathy on behalf of the George & Shirley Koske family and the Ed & Marie Provost family. I'm sure all our parents are now reminiscing the "good ol' days of pinochle and Pell Lake".

To All the Metzger Clan --

Wow -- such intense love between your Mom and Dad, that they should leave this world so close together. No surprise there, though. . .

What a privilege to have known your Mom for all these years! She was truly a model mother, wife, neighbor and friend. I just know that Mom, Dad, Millie, Nana and Andy were all there, along with your Dad, to welcome her home.

I am so sorry that I cannot make it to Chicago for the memorial service. But I will surely be with you in spirit.

Once again, my warmest aloha to you all.

To Sally and all of the Metzger family. Your Mom helped me stay on the right path. Take comfort in the fact that she is in a better place and they are together. Kristin Brodt

We are Blessed to have known two such wonderful people who gave the world so many beautiful people to share our lives with.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you.

The road ahead will bring you so many cherished memories...hold them deeply in your hearts and know Mom and Dad will be with you as we all continue in our journey here on earth.

We will all look forward to being reunited with all of our loved ones.

I think my Mom and Dad may finally be meeting your Mom and Dad...perhaps they are playing a game of cards together.

We love you
Mary and Family

So many great memories of Mom . . . it's hard to decide where to start. She loved intensely. She served her family and neighbors tirelessly. She always wanted to be the best person she could be, and she wanted the best for those around her. I remember the smell of bread baking on cold, snowy winter afternoons, catching her doing laundry in the basement at 4 am, hearing her singing as she folded laundry or prepared a meal, and laughter - so much laughter - even in difficult times. Though she had plenty to keep her busy with our own large family, she found time to help neighbors and friends.

What a wonderful woman! She will be missed, but her character lives on in us, her kids, grand-kids, in-laws, outlaws, extended family and friends. She helped shape us all.

My deepest sympathy to all of the Metzger family. Both of your parents were delightful to talk to at the family gatherings. Such a loving couple. That love shows through the entire family.
I am sure that your Dad went ahead as to make sure everything was ok for his lovely bride. They are probably hand in hand watching over you all.
I will miss seeing and talking to them. Love, Kristie

To Steve,Kevin & The Entire Metzger Clan,

My deepest sympathy goes to each and everyone of you! I Pray for each of you to find peace and comfort with your 2 angels. Both Grandma and Grandpa were 2 amazing people I am honored I was able to meet them, learn from them and grow as an adult from them. I am blessed to have known such wonderful people.

Love,
Carla

How many women do you know that would get excited about their mother-in-law coming over? Well I did! Who better then her would know how much work it is to raise a family. She would come at least once a week to sweep my floor or bring a meal and help me fold laundry. She would never criticize, always encouraging. I learned so much over that folded laundry!! She sacrificed so others could have. And never, never complained. Mom and dad didn’t just tell you about the love of Christ they lived it! They made each child, grandchild and great-grandchild feel like they were the most important person in the world, only because to them we were! Their legacy lives on in all of us. How blessed to be a part of this family!

Mom,
I love you so very much and have missed all the conversing that we shared. Now you and Dad can get all caught up. Even though I miss you both I know you are happiest to be together. Thank you for orchestrating all the family get togethers. You were such an example to us and now we will go forward following in your footsteps. Mom as I was making your German Potato Salad I was thinking about all the love you included in your receipes. You are with us always in many different ways. Love you oh so very much!
Your youngest,
Love Sally
