Meet Delores Etheridge, Resident of the Month
Delores Etheridge was born Aug. 1, 1934, to
Ralph and Edith Noble in St. Paul, Mo. Delores’ fa-
ther, Ralph, worked as a tire man for Firestone for
many years. While he worked, her mother, Edith
stayed home to raise Delores and her three siblings;
Ronny, Sharon, and Royce.
During World War II Delores’ family moved to Fres-
no, Calif. Delores later lived in Seattle, Wash. and
then went to Bob Jones University in South Carolina,
where she met her husband, David Etheridge. Once
the couple were married they moved back to
Missouri because it was a safer place to live.
Delores worked a few jobs throughout her life
including child care, cleaning houses, a Department
store, and then once she moved back to Missouri,
she worked at the Senior Health Center in
Bolivar. She also enjoyed teaching Sunday School
and Bible School alongside her husband.
During Delores’ year at Bob Jones University, she met David while eating break-
fast together. The couple dated for nine years and then were married on June 10,
1965. They were happily married for almost 68 years. David went to seminary and
worked as a part time Pastor. One of her favorite memories was the time her and
David were able to go to Minnesota to swim and see the beautiful lakes. “Everything
was so beautiful, but the mosquitoes were huge!” said Delores. The couple had one
child, Bryan. Delores has one thirteen year old granddaughter named Laurin.
Growing up, Delores enjoyed playing games with her neighborhood friends includ-
ing football, basketball, and roller skating. As she got older she was the overseer of
the family, as she was the oldest of her siblings. Like her mother, Delores also en-
joyed caring for children. Currently her favorite activities include knitting, relaxing,
and gardening.
Delores came to Parkview in Sept. 2018. When asked her favorite part of living
here, she said, “It is a nice, safe, place to stay” and that she really enjoys her time at
Parkview. Congratulations, Delores, on being chosen as the Parkview Health Care
Facility’s Resident of the Month!
