Delphine passed away Sept. 24, 2018.

Del was born Feb. 29, 1932. Being born on a Leap Year was just one of the things that made Del so special. Her leap year age made her 21 ½ years old and she would love to tease that she was younger than all her grandkids. Del attended Cornelius Hedges Elementary and was a graduate of Flathead County High School in 1949.

Del and her late husband Joe loved the Flathead Valley that they called home and raised their four beloved children here, Gary Johnson, Greg and wife Debbie Johnson, Julie and husband John Roberson and David Johnson. “Grandma ‘ Del treasured her grandkids, Jesse Johnson, Tory and Jason Johnson, Jeremy and Nicholas Reum, Kiera and Cayden Roberson, Brandon and Ciara Johnson; and her 15great-grandkids, and one great-great-grandson. Del is also survived by her brothers Lee and wife Pat Weigum and Archie Weigum, along with many nieces and nephews.

Del was preceded in death by her parents Emanuel Weigum and Molly Goss, and sister Eunice Olson.·

Delphine was an avid pinochle player who taught, hosted and attended card parties for years. She was a class member of Bible Study Fellowship for 15 years where she enjoyed studying scripture. Del unconditionally loved everyone of her family and friends and will be deeply missed.

A graveside service will be held at 1 p.m. on Oct. 20 at C.E. Conrad Memorial Cemetery, followed by a celebration of life at 2 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Fellowship Hall.
