She was educated in Calvert County Public Schools. Della worked for Warren Denton Oyster House, Benedict Pier Restaurant, and Walmart. She was very quiet. She had a humbling spirit and a caring heart for family, friends, and people who she came in contact with. Her heart was made of gold with lots of love to share. Della stayed with her brother Joe and sister-in-law Marian for 19 years, caring for their children who adored her. She retired in 2018 from work. She enjoyed her daily walks and attending the Senior Citizen Center.

Della enjoyed attending Healing Place Church in Waldorf, MD under the Leadership of Pastor Makie receiving God's words of hope, love, peace, faith, and relationship. Amen.
