Deloris was affectionately known in the community as “Momma C” and “Ms. Curtis”. Deloris has been a longtime advocate for children and people in the "CD" community. Deloris was well known for her love and compassion for people who struggled and needed a place to lay their head, a hot meal and in some instances, providing that personal touch to make sure they we're able to make it through the day. Deloris devoted her life to community engagement and was dedicated and committed to show and express her love for those that were less fortunate.
