Delia was born in Cambridge on March 1, 1955, daughter of the late James E. and Delia T. Powers. She was raised in Somerville, attended Somerville High School and received her GED from Medford High School. On April 7, 1972 she was married to Robert A. Goss.

After calling Melrose home while raising a family, Delia and Bob moved to Shapleigh, Maine in 1988. Delia continued working as a CNA, while developing an interest in jewelry, gem stones, crochet, and her beloved pet Huskies, Lady and Ivan. Most recently, she instructed Bob to go to the airport for a new addition to the family, a young German Shephard named Cuddles. Delia loved animals and had a special place in her heart for all of her pets.
Delia will be great missed, but always lovingly remembered for her sense of humor, quiet demeanor, and love for the city of Cambridge! May she rest in peace.
