On August 5, 1950, she was united in holy matrimony to the late James Rogers and to this union, five children were born. She was a faithful member of the Gospel Choir, Missionary Society, the Trustee Wives and the Sunday Church School for many years. Delphine was a homemaker most of her adult life. She would take on tasks such as; quilting, baking, sewing, gardening, canning, farming, and making the best biscuits. The most important task she engaged as a homemaker was teaching her children about the Christian values and how to respect their elders and peers.
