Born in Orange, Texas, on May 1, 1957, she was the daughter of Aurbin “Lonnie” Earl Lonadier and Frankie (Sullivan) Lonadier. Phillis’ most important thing in life was her beloved family. She lived for them, and lived to make them happy. She was the world’s best “Mammou” to her grandchildren and they adored her with every fiber of their being. Her most treasured times were the moments she was simply hanging out with her grandchildren, planning family events and holidays, and just being surrounded by those she loved. Phillis made it a point to make everyone feel special and loved. She was incredibly strong and resilient and passed some of her best traits on to her children. Phillis loved to read, watch Hallmark movies, and was an incredibly talented artist of yard art. She left an impact on all those she met and will be deeply missed by all those who loved her.
She was preceded in death by her father, Earl Lonadier; loving husband of 30 years, William “Bill” Delli, Jr.; and sister, Kathy Lonadier Nelson.
