Delores' Memorial video

Delores A. (Guerin) Davis, age 97, of New London, passed away peacefully at Trinity Terrace on March 3, 2025. Delores was born on March 11, 1927 in Bessemer, Michigan, to George and Selma (Neumann) Guerin. She was the second oldest of 5 children. When she was 2, her father moved the family to New London, to provide a better life for his family.  In 1940, Delores tragically lost both of her parents. Delores and her siblings were separated, living with relatives.  Delores and her sister went back to Michigan to live with their aunt, uncle and cousins. She was confirmed at Sharon Lutheran Church and graduated from Johnson High School, with the class of 1945, in Bessemer, Michigan.

After graduating high school, she moved back to the New London area and found work at the American Plywood wood products factory. She soon met the love of her life, Ward Davis, and they married November 1, 1947. They were married 51 years and were blessed with 4 All-American children. When her children were age-appropriate, Delores returned to the work force and was employed at the Hortonville Toy Factory until she retired in 1985.   In retirement, Delores enjoyed caring for her 5 grandchildren, as well as tending her gardens and rose bushes.  Delores loved cooking and baking.  She was known for her homemade Finnish pasties and sweet and sour green beans.
