Delcine Smith Nottingham
1930 - 2011
Our mom, Delcine Smith Nottingham, was born Jan. 6, 1930, in Pocatello, Idaho, and passed away June 9 in Sheridan.
At a young age she moved with her parents and brother to Dillon, and then later to Sheridan where she spent most of her life. She described a very happy childhood growing up in Sheridan making many life long friends. She attended elementary school in Sheridan and graduated from Sheridan High School in 1948.
Her goal in life was to be a mother and homemaker, and toward that end she married Oria J. Nottingham in August of 1950. Together they had four sons. Later she married Don Hansen and they also had several happy years together.
Delcine was a kind, generous, humble, caring, creative, and non-judgemental person. In addition to her family her passion in life was flower gardening. She grew beautiful flowers anywhere she could find a place to plant them, which sometimes made mowing difficult.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Adelbert Clark Smith and Lucille K. Burlingame Smith; her brother, Jack Smith; and her beloved grandson, Del Nottingham.
She is survived by her sons Sig (Kathryn), Dan (Denise), Mat (Susan), and Joe (Linda); and stepdaughter, Teresa (Gary) Kendall.
