Born in Bridgeton, she was the daughter of the late William and Carrie nee Pierce Lloyd. Delores grew up in Greenwich, NJ and moved to Hopewell Twp in 1972. She was the wife of the late Thomas A.

She was an excellent cook and baker, and as a memento she kept her "wooden spoons' which she used for making many servings of her famous "mashed potatoes". She loved and enjoyed her home, her flowers, and watching the Lawrence Welk Show on Saturday evenings. She is survived by her children Thomas A. Lemon Jr. Julia of Delaware, Patti E. Lemon-Thomas Ronnie of Bridgeton, Sandra P. Bowman Stephen of Vineland, and Neil W. Lemon Lorii of Galloway, NJ., her five grandchildren Lori, Stephen, Jerel, Sean, and Rhyan, and her three great grandchildren.
