DeElta Alys (Buraas) Heins was born August 5, 1929, on a farm in Marion Township, Clayton County, south of Postville, to Alfred and Norma (Thoen) Buraas. She was baptized and confirmed in the East Clermont Lutheran Church. DeElta attended a rural school near Clermont, two years of high school in Clermont and graduated from Postville High School in 1947. She attended the University of Northern Iowa for one year with the intention of becoming a kindergarten teacher. On August 27, 1950, DeElta was married to Don Meyer Heins at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Postville. Don and DeElta were the proud parents of two daughters. They farmed in Clayton County from 1950 to 1977, built a house on the Tri-City Golf Course near No. 7 tee in 1977, and lived there until 1996.
