     Delbert Burdell Krull was born on November 18, 1940 in Edna, Iowa, the son of Weert and Johanna (Schilling) Krull. Del grew up in the Little Rock area and later graduated from Little Rock High School in 1959. On January 12, 1968, he was united in marriage to Delores Groen at the Bethel Reformed Church. The couple raised their family and enjoyed farming south of Little Rock. After retiring, they moved to an acreage west of George. Del was a member of the Zoar Presbyterian Church where he served as a Deacon. He was also involved with Little Rock Town & Country, as well as serving on the East Lyon County Cooperative Board. His hobbies included playing pool, pinochle, slow pitch softball and especially enjoyed spending time with his grandkids. Del was known for his laid-back style and always had a wave for whoever he met.

     Del was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease over 22 years ago. For those who knew him well, his humility, coupled with his positive attitude made him an example to people who struggle with a debilitating disease. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

     Del is survived by his wife of fifty years, Delores Krull of George, IA; three children: Darnell Krull of Ellsworth, MN, Dawn (Chane) Patten of Harrisburg, SD and Dan (April) Krull of Spirit Lake, IA; five grandchildren: Cole, Mia, Jesa, Avery and Maddox; one sister, Delinda Kruger of George, IA; and other extended family.

     Del was preceded in death by his parents, Weert and Johanna Krull; father-in-law, Orvel Groen;

mother-in-law, Alice Groen; and brother-in-law, Charles Groen.

   Del’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all who cared for him at Parkview Manor.
