DeLoris is survived by three daughters, Teresa “Terre” Britt of Prior Lake, Minn., Barbara Grove of Ely and Deborah (Larry) Oliphant of Muskego, Wis.; son, Thomas (Patti) Angerer of Greenfield, Wis.; nine grandchildren, Nicholas (Heather) Britt, Charlie Britt, Megan Britt, Chris (former wife, Candie) Levi, Dan (Kirsten) Levi, Delaine (Jeremy) Van Deraa, Justin (Candace) Oliphant, Greg (Penny) Grove and Kelli (Dan) Johnson; 17 great-grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; and sister, Janet Kuehl.

DeLoris was born on March 31, 1926, in Fruitland, the daughter of Clyde and Bertha Moore Holliday. She graduated in 1944 from Muscatine High School. On

Nov. 30, 1946, DeLoris married Richard Angerer in Muscatine. She worked for the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CGLIC) for 20 years and retired in 1981. DeLoris was a Red Cross volunteer and was very involved at St. Patrick Catholic Church.

DeLoris enjoyed life. She stayed active with daily walks and driving her car well into her 90s. She played cards with zeal, was a steadfast volunteer, and knew how to graciously entertain family and friends. DeLoris was an excellent seamstress and made the kids 'entire wardrobes when they were young. She loved making matching sundresses for the girls with matching shirt for Tom. She was an excellent cook and baker, but her true expertise was pie baking. She was known far and wide for the flakiest crust of all time. Dick and DeLoris

traveled the world. She was an amazing grandma, and loved the big Christmas Eve's at her home. And her morning coffee on the porch.

Memorials may be directed the charity of the donor’s choice.

[ceraunavoltaederabella]

Ti avevo chiesto una sola cosa, una minima e banalissima cosa "se ti accorgi di non volermi più, di voler cercare altrove una nuova fiamma dove scaldarti, cerca di sparire velocemente dalla mia vita e di non lasciare residui, di portarti dietro il tuo sorriso, il tuo profumo, il tuo nasone e le tue grandi mani che riescono ad avvolgermi tutta" E tu sei riuscito a non mantenere nessuna di queste cose, te ne sei andato senza far rumore, quando la mia testa scoppiava a causa delle tue parole, "mi spiace scrivertelo così, spero di non perderti nonostante tutto" Speravo che almeno avresti avuto la decenza di lasciarmi respirare dopo, invece eccoti qui, ora vuoi rivedermi, vuoi sapere cosa faccio, con chi sto.. Io ora non sto, non so nemmeno dove sia la mia testa,vorrei poterti dire di andare, di uscire dalla porta principale e di non guardare più indietro, ma non hai rispettato i patti e io resto legata a te e ti voglio, ti voglio ora, domani e dopo.. Finiremo per farci solo del gran male, nel vano tentativo di trovare un po' di pace

PROJECT MUSE finally publishes an excerpt William Steele’s 2015 review of  THE ESSENTIAL W. P. KINSELLA from NINE: A JOURNAL OF BASEBALL HISTORY AND CULTURE.

Reading THE ESSENTIAL W. P. KINSELLA is like rekindling a friendship after several years away. Though his most recent novel, BUTTERFLY WINTER, was released in 2011, it has been fifteen years since his last collection of short fiction was published. For his longtime fans, this collection is a reminder of his strength as a storyteller, his sharp wit and satiric observations, and his characters whom the readers come to recognize as people they’ve known for years. And for those readers who are new to Kinsella’s fiction or who may only know his baseball novels such as SHOELESS JOE and THE IOWA BASEBALL CONFEDERACY, these stories will introduce them to the Silas Ermineskin narratives from the Hobbema Reservation in Alberta, Canada; his short vignettes written in the style of his favorite author, Richard Brautigan; and his baseball stories that were not used as chapters of his later novels.

Published in time for his eightieth birthday, the collection is an interesting retrospective of Kinsella’s most popular stories, such as “Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa,” and some of his lesser-known works. And while this collection offers very little new material, it does remind readers of his abilities to speak through a Cree Indian’s voice and to incorporate magic realism in his baseball narratives, both trademarks of his earlier collections. For those who are only familiar with his novels, many of the baseball pieces will strike a familiar chord, as he wove them into the plotlines of some of his baseball novels.

Though many readers may expect Kinsella to only write about either baseball or Cree Indians, some selections included here show his ability to throw an occasional curveball. “Do Not Abandon Me” examines a woman who is ready to leave her husband but finds herself torn between the safety of her predictable relationship and the excitement of an affair with a far more mysterious and world-traveled antiques dealer. “The Last Surviving Member of the Japanese Victory Society” is a touching love story that bridges two different cultures, allowing the narrator to find both love and happiness after a lifetime of being deprived of both. Dedicated to his wife Barbara, who passed away on Christmas Eve 2012, the story is a reminder of Kinsella’s knack for writing a story in a way that causes readers to empathize with the character, longing to know what happens after the story ends.

Some stories in the anthology are among the author’s favorites, including “First Names and Empty Pockets,” a piece Kinsella has often said is the best short story he has ever written. The story is told through the voice of a man who developed a relationship with Janis Joplin and is able to save her from dying at age twenty-seven, helping her realize her full potential as an artist. In “How I Got My Nickname,” the narrator, also named W. P. Kinsella, gets a chance to play for the 1951 New York Giants, hitting .333 before helping set up Bobby Thomson’s famous “shot heard round the world.” In both cases, Kinsella’s unique style of blending fact and fantasy together brings to mind his baseball novels that are known for the magic realism that drives them.
