  DeLoris Dora Hilbers was born March 25, 1927 to Gustav and Viola (Hoffman) Hilbers in Scribner, Nebraska. She was married to Donald Longwell on May 19, 1951 and together, they raised 7 children. DeLoris “Di” was a Godly woman who loved playing cards, baking, crocheting and putting puzzles together. She taught many of her grandchildren how to crochet and made sure every new baby had their own special blanket or quilt. Her home was almost always filled with kids & the scent of her freshly baked bread lingered throughout the house. She loved everyone who entered her home whether they were family or not. Her strength, compassion and love for others will be passed down for many generations to come.

  She is survived by her children, Richard (Deborah) Longwell, Vicky Longwell, Sandra Longwell, Dawn Longwell, Kerry (Sherrie) Longwell, Holly (Jim) Cunningham; 15 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren, and 9 great-great-grandchildren.

  She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Donald Earl Longwell; and son, Donald Ray Longwell.
