She graduated from Worthington High School in Worthington, Pennsylvania in 1952, and subsequently attended Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee, where she earned a B.A. in Christian Education, followed by studies at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago Illinois, where she met her husband, Fred Plastow.

Delores and Fred married June 18, 1960, and soon embarked on their life mission to share the good news of Jesus Christ with people of other nations. They lived in Morocco for nearly 6 years, in Switzerland for 2 years, in Belgium for 11 years, and in Spain for 10 years before returning to the USA, where they first served in Columbia, South Carolina as ambassadors for their sending mission agency, Avant Ministries, then eventually settled in Warsaw, Indiana.

Together they raised three daughters, Lori (Kurt) Strietzel (Kansas City, Missouri), Sheryl (Lary) Strietzel (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Cynthia (Rodney) Ens (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada), and a son, Marc (Susan) Plastow (Warsaw, Indiana). This small start has resulted in a bounty of 16 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and 2 double-great grandchildren.

While she never learned to ride a bicycle, she learned to speak Arabic and French and prepared manuscripts for publications in those languages.

Delores will be remembered as an excellent life partner by her husband of 60 years, for her compassionate love by her children, and for her warm hospitality and gentle, caring spirit by the multitudes of friends who were blessed to experience it while in her home.

In the last 4 years of her life, Delores gradually lost much of her ability to communicate verbally with others.
