It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Delena Maney, who left this world on November 28, 2024, at the age of 51. Delena was born on July 20, 1973, and spent her life bringing joy, love, and laughter to all who knew her. Delena was a dedicated mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She is survived by her beloved daughter, son, two brothers, two sisters, mother, two cherished grandsons, and her life partner Bobby Jackson. Her family was her greatest joy, and she was a source of unwavering love and support throughout their lives.
For 15 years, Delena worked as a butcher at Food Lion, where she was known for her hard work, dedication, and bright personality. Whether behind the counter or at family gatherings, Delena was a constant source of warmth and humor. Her infectious laughter and sense of humor could light up any room, and she had an incredible ability to bring people together. She was the life of every get-together, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
Delena’s kindness, caring nature, and ability to put others before herself will be remembered fondly. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories that will continue to inspire those who loved her.
She will be missed beyond words, and her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

So sorry to hear about your mom passing away. We worked together many years at Food Lion. You all are in my thoughts.
I looked up a Bible verse for 11/28 and Matthew 11:28 was the verse. Thank you for showing us the way.
Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Put those beautiful angel wings to work and I will see you in heaven. I love you baby sister with all of my heart! 💗💗💗💗💗𓆩♡𓆪 ༺♡༻ ʚ❤︎ɞ 𖤍
You hold many important titles – Delena aka/Mama/Mama Dena/Little Sis
I just want the family to know how big of a heart their love one had for everyone no matter the situation. Selena will be missed in every way possible, whether it be a friend to listen or sharing a joke to make someone laugh that are down on their luck. She just has such a warm and loving heart and she will be missed by many and such a blessing in heaven.
This sure isn’t an easy thing to write, I’m sorry you had to go through a lot of pain in life. I think back when we were kids getting into trouble you and Delona making me think I was going to turn into a girl. I’m so thankful for the memories but sad that I didn’t know we wouldn’t be able to make more. I hope that I was a good brother you definitely deserved a good one. I can’t wait to see you again. I love you always. Until we meet again ❤️
