Delores Mary Houser

Delores Mary (Huerta) Houser passed away from this life and into eternity on the morning of Sunday, March 30th at Banner Wyoming Medical Center. Born on September 13th, 1962 in Chicago, IL, Delores, or “Dee” as she was better known, was loved by many people. She never failed to touch the lives of those she met. After an unconventional whirlwind romance and a wedding based on the bet of a lifetime to Phillip “Chick” Houser in 1985, the couple built a home and family for themselves and eventually settled in Casper, WY. 

In this home, Dee became a Mom to every kid who came over to the house. She was a safe harbor for people to come and seek help or refuge. She was a confidante to many, and a friend to everyone. As her children grew into adults and had children of their own, Dee became “Nana” and always took joy in her grandchildren. Dee showed strength and love through acts of kindness and service to others, even if it sometimes meant sacrifice for herself. She loved doing many things with her grandkids including baking, watching movies, and generally spoiling them silly. Dee loved to dance - especially when she could dance with Chick. She loved all of the holidays throughout the year because holidays always meant decorating the house with the grandkids, cooking a feast, and spending time with her kids and family.

Dee was a daughter, sister, mother, wife, and friend. She was preceded in death by her mother, Betty McDaniels, and her husband, Phillip Houser Sr. Dee was survived by her father, Jessie Huerta, her brothers Jesse Huerta and Dennis Huerta, and her children, Chris Huerta, Eric Houser, Phillip Houser Jr., and Samantha Houser. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Brandon Hanson, Shaelynn Houser, Damien Houser, Oscar Huerta, Madalyn Harrison, Jason Houser, Dominick Houser, Adelia Houser, Aalyiah Houser, Manuel Boatman, Escobar Boatman, Amelia Holt, and Kyra Holt.

Now that Dee has been reunited with her husband in the next life, her legacy on earth remains in all of the hearts who hold her memories forever. A celebration of life will be held at a later date, yet to be determined.
