Delores “Dee” Walker Harris Obituary (1955

Delores "Dee" Walker Harris, 66 of Milford, Delaware; departed this life on October 6, 2022 at her home. Delores was born in North Carolina on November 30, 1955 and moved to Delaware as a small child. Delores, (AKA Aunt Dee to many) was world famous for not holding back her opinion and a telling it like it is. She always told you the truth even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear. She always gave good, logical advice to all those who sought her wisdom and her vocabulary was highly proficient in four letter words to back it up. These words of wisdom, encouragement, and sometimes comfort, kept us on our toes, taught us that self-pity was not an option, and gave us something to pass down to the next generation. Everyone always knew where they stood with her. Either she liked you or she didn't- just as simple as that! Delores was good at cooking any and everything- from crabs to crocodile! If you brought it, she'd find a recipe- or make one up! Her plastic bags of leftovers will be missed by everyone that ever crossed her threshold. Delores was a beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She was preceded in death by her parents Luther Walker, Sr and Agnes Sherrod Walker and one brother Arthur Walker. She is survived by her daughters Dana Harris (Ed Stevens) and Juton Harris both of Milford, DE and Tynice Gardner (Gregory) of Brandywine, MD (who was adopted and lovingly raised by the Brittngham family of Lewes); one sister, Cleo Walker of South Carolina; and three brothers Robert Walker of Felton, DE; James Walker (Jessica) and Luther Walker, Jr both of Dover, DE and two best friends; Stella Hazzard and Veronica Martin of Dover, DE along with 10 grandchildren and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews. Per her request a small, private memorial will be held for family and friends.
