Delores was an active member of the Women of the Moose, reaching the highly honored achievement of Senior Regent. She was a lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars. In later years she enjoyed inviting neighbors to her home for visits and the company of many, many friends at VFW Post #1927.

Delores delighted in seven grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by husband Dale Laudahl, whom she met while living in Alaska. Also four brothers, Harold, Don, Bob and Ted Coons; and three sisters, Geraldine Belcher, Patricia Campbell, Ramona Carlock and one half-sister Hortence McQueen.
Family and friends will gather for a 'potluck' meal at the Woodland VFW on October 7, 2012 between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to honor Delores and celebrate her long and interesting life of 84 years.
