Her love of working with students eventually landed her a position as an adjunct professor in the Social Work Department at Daemen. Deloris has recently retired from the VA Hospital and devotes some of her time teaching and counseling at Daemen. Her favorite saying as far as the time she spends at Daemen is “when you love what you do, it loves you back.”  Deloris and her husband, Adam, reside in Amherst, NY.  They have two daughters, Crystal and Brianne, one son, Sean, and two grandchildren, Chase and Camille.
