WASHINGTON TERRACE a€" On the beautiful, cool morning of Saturday, October 25, 2008, DelMar Earl Hellstrom slipped peacefully away from this earthly life.

DelMar was born 91 years ago, August 18, 1917, in Randolph, Utah. He is the son of Leonard LeRoy and Luella Vilate Longhurst Hellstrom.

He married Leora Jones in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on June 9, 1943.

He worked for O.U.R. & D. Railroad. He retired from Hill Air Force Base and Defense Depot Ogden after 30 years of service. He attended many redistribution marketing courses and spent two months at Lawry Air Force Base in Denver. He received outstanding performance ratings including a Silver Zero Defects award and a Bronze Zero Defects award.
