Della did whatever was necessary to provide for her children. For a time, she ran a plant nursery. Throughout her life she loved flowers, particularly carnations and lilies. Her favorite color was purple, so she was always sure to have some purple flowers mixed in. At another time she worked tending bar. She was selfless and very loving to her family. She was extremely proud of her children, and devoted to her grandchildren. While her children were at home Della was the family barber.
She enjoyed playing solitaire, and other card games, as well as passing the time coloring. She also loved to crochet and sew. She was a member of the Baptist church.
She is survived by a son, Michael Priddy and his fiancé, Brittany Paddock; two daughters and a son-in-law, Victoria and Canon Ashford of Clovis and Amber Priddy of Louisville, KY; seven grandchildren, Zelda, Holly, Tracey, Nolan and Sean Ashfrord and Maddie and Logan Priddy; a brother, Kenneth Myers of Tampa, FL and a sister, Susan Myers of Atlanta, GA; and by her former husband, Thomas Priddy of Louisville, KY.
