Delaune was a beloved and iconic leader of WHEEL Trinity Shelter, and a faithful participant in Women in Black vigils. She had a service bird named Louie, and MANY friends. Delaune always helped out around the shelter–she had a great spirit of community. She died just a few months after finally getting permanent housing. Women in Black dedicated our vigil to her July 12, 2023.

Delaune’s Leaf is at St James Cathedral. If you have photos or memories to share, please post a comment.
