After raising her five children, Delores became a motivational speaker for Weight Watchers. She became a home health aide while living in Boone, IA. Delores traveled extensively throughout the United States, Mexico, and Ireland. She also had a passion for her flower gardens. She had a great interest in her family history and thoroughly researched her own and her husband’s family genealogy. Delores collected and was an authority on Westmoreland glassware. She kept in touch with the many friends from all the places she lived throughout her life, finally realizing she had outlived most of them. In her 90’s she published her life story, “Grandma D” which she presented to all her descendants and friends and then donated the proceeds from remaining books to the Adams County Historical Society
Delores was a member of the Stevens Point Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, Adams County Historical Society, Deyo Historical Society, Huguenot Historical Society, Catholic daughters, PCCW and St. Joseph Catholic Church.

Delores was a lovely lady. she and my mother were long time friends and when E-mail came along she and I exchanged notes so I got to know her too. We agreed on many things in life and I will really miss her wit and wisdom . May the memory of her lovely smile bring you comfort.
Dear Aunt Pat and Uncle Frank, Joe, Chris and Noelle and your families. Very sad to hear about your lovely Mother, and Grandma, leaving her earthly home. I am sure she will be greatly missed. God blessed her with a rich life and a large family, and you were all so blessed to have her 99 years. May she have great joy with her Father in heaven.
Your mom was very inspirational . We loved visiting with her. Jim and Renee Schindlbeck.
In my lifetime I have known many people; perhaps thousands. Of all of them, there are few with whom I can say that I found no fault. Grandma Cherveny was one of them. She loved freely, and forgave wholly. She embodied Christ himself. Her beauty was as evident inside as it was out. She was an intelligent, interesting, caring and kind woman. Heaven’s gain is truly Earth’s loss, and all who knew her shall certainly grieve. I will always love you, and will miss you, but I know that you are with our Lord, and at peace.
so sorry for your loss
Dear Nancy and Steve and the entire Chervany family.
Delores always made sure to give me a hug when I saw her. We had good times when she was our 4H leader. I loved spending the many hours at your house playing Barbies. I don’t think your family ever thought we would give up our Barbies up. She always made me feel welcome in your home. She will be missed.
Take care.
Dear Nancy and Steve and the entire family.
We are so saddened by the news of loss of your mom. Please accept our sincere condolences. May all the warm and special memories you shared with her stay with you and bring you comfort through the days ahead. You and your family is in our prayers.
With love,
