The Cremation will be private; a Memorial Service will be held at our church on Saturday, November 22nd at 2:00 pm. Messages of condolence may be sent to Keith DeLap and family at 103 Fir Street, Lake in the Hills, IL 60156-3362.
Naomi’s granddaughter, Kelly Sculles is the Principal at Munhall Elementary School in St. Charles, Illinois. After Naomi’s passing Kelly shared the following words with her staff in her weekly reflection, along with a photograph of Naomi’s 2nd grade report card:
Not long before my Grandma DeLap’s passing on Saturday, November 8, 2014, she sent me her 2nd grade report card … She recalled me telling her about the story Dr. Schlomann, Superintendent shared on our opening Institute Day about the one room school house his Grandmother, Emma started in North DaKota.
My grandmother grew up in North DaKota, and her 2nd grade teacher’s name was Emma. While we’re pretty certain we were talking about two different teachers, she was thrilled to make a connection. On my grandmother’s behalf, I wish you a smooth transition to the new elementary report cards.
(Blessed to have her in my life for a good part of her 85 years.)
Please keep Keith DeLap, Kelly Sculles, and their families and friends in prayer.
