Deloris was a caregiver in nursing homes for many years. She enjoyed visiting with family and friends, especially her grandchildren. Deloris also enjoyed sewing and making quilts, canning and, man, did she love cooking, always cooking enough food to feed an army.

She was preceded in death by her parents; four sons, Rick, Bruce, Charley and Brian Sweat; two daughters, Freda Kendrick and Kathryn Sweat; two brothers, Richard and Donnie Peters; five sisters, Judy Burns, Treva McNeely, Gail Lenhart, Pamela Rhodes and Brenda Johnson. Deloris is survived by her husband of forty five years, Homer Wisdom; three sons, Randy, Billy and Jack Sweat; four daughters, Rebecca Darnell, Dorothy Sweat, Cindy Hobbs and Reva Wisdom; numerous grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren and some great-great-grandchildren.

There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date. The family suggests contributions to Schneider Funeral Home to help defray the costs of the funeral for the family. These may be sent in care of the funeral home to: Schneider Funeral Home and Crematory P.O. Box 525 Pleasanton, Kan.  66075. Online condolences may be left at www.schneiderfunerals.com.
