Deloris Elaine (Hess) Wedman, daughter of John and Naomi (Clark) Hess, was born September 22, 1929 in Renfrow, Oklahoma.  She was raised on the family farm near Manchester, Oklahoma, which was part of the original Cherokee Strip.

On August, 1951, Deloris was united in marriage to John Roger Wedman in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Anthony, Kansas.  To this union eight children were born: Eugene, Richard, Ronald, David, Larry, Galen, Linda, and Marie.

She also worked some as a waitress at various restaurants in the area.  Later they moved to the family farm near Danville where they lived for several years until Deloris developed Alzheimer's.
