She was known as Deloris in some circles, and as Lavon in other circles. No matter which name you knew her by, she was the most loyal, classy, Godly woman with the best personality and sense of humor.

The Foxes attended and filled many leadership roles at Ray Street Church of the Nazarene and Southwest Church of the Nazarene for over six decades. Deloris/Lavon was an exquisite cook and a gracious hostess. She loved reading cookbooks and planning day trips to tea rooms no matter if she and her friends had to cross state lines to get there. Deloris/Lavon served on multiple Work and Witness Mission trips through the Church of the Nazarene and went to 29 different countries to build the Kingdom of God. She faithfully loved and served her God, her husband, her sons and their wives, her twelve grandchildren, her four great-grandchildren, and her church.
