Delores Katherine Thome, the second child born to Joseph and Frances (Goergen) Thome, was born on July 28, 1926 in Jerauld County in a small house along Highway 281.

Delores, also lovingly known as Sis or Dee, went to live with John and Susan Goergen at age 5. She attended Goergen School while there. When she was older she moved back home with her parents and two siblings, older brother Lloyd and her younger sister. She finished her schooling in Aurora County at the Woodmanste School.

In 1945 Delores, only 18 years of age, moved to the west coast- Camas, Washington. There she worked at the Crown and Zellerbach Paper Mill for 2 years.

Delores married Wayne William Guindon on July 24, 1946 in Vancouver, Washington. The couple moved back to Plankinton on March 1, 1947 traveling home in a Chevy five window pass coupe. They moved home to operate a Service Station, which later became well known as "Guindon Service". Wayne passed in 1972 from a heart attack and Delores continued to run Guindon Service, closing in 1991.

After moving home Delores and Wayne had four children- Candie Sue (1947), Randy (1948), Skip (1950), and Pennie Ann (1953)
