After her graduation from North Bend High School, Delores worked at the Corner Café in North Bend from 1952 to 1954.

Delores met the love of her life Jack Nitz in June of 1952 and started dating. They got engaged in June of 1955 and were married on January 14, 1956 at Sinai Lutheran Church in Fremont, Nebraska. To this union, 2 children were adopted from the Nebraska Children's Home in Omaha, Nebraska. After the wedding, they honeymooned in Denver, Colorado and Dallas, Texas. When they returned from their honeymoon, they moved into the basement of Jack's parents home Northwest of Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska, where they resided for nearly a year before moving to North Bend for a year.

Delores always was willing to give of her time and enjoyed many clubs and organizations that she belonged to.
