Obituary

Deloris Sneller Gosling, age 81, a resident of Wheaton, IL, for 52 years, went to be with the Lord, peacefully on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Illinois.  She was born November 14, 1937 in Sheldon, Iowa to Andrew and Evelyn Sneller.

Dee grew up in Sheldon and graduated from Sheldon High School. She graduated from Covenant College and earned a Master's Degree in Education from National College of Education.  She met Chuck Gosling in St. Louis while she was a student at Covenant College and he was in seminary. They were married on January 24, 1959 in Matlock, Iowa.  They taught in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and they ministered at a church in Hampton, Virginia until moving to Wheaton.  She raised three children and then worked as a secretary and systems analyst at Wheaton College and as a teacher's aide in District 200.

She enjoyed being a children's choir director at Bethel Presbyterian Church in Wheaton, where she was a contributing member.  She and her sister, Audrey, volunteered for many years at "Twice is Nice" resale shop. She loved family vacations, especially HoneyRock Family Camp.  She was proud of her Dutch heritage.  She and Chuck are members of Immanuel Presbyterian Church where she was active in the Women's Bible Study, who supported her through her illness. For the past eleven years, Chuck has faithfully cared for her. She loved being with family and friends, but most of all her grandchildren were her favorite people.

Her faith was central to her life. Her favorite hymn was "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" and God was faithful to her even through years of illness.

She is survived by her husband, Charles Gosling of Wheaton, three children, Drew (Kathleen) Gosling of Wheaton, Evie (Joel) Kapitaniuk of Wheaton and Ruthie (Doug) Allen of Elizabethtown, PA, ten grandchildren, Meredith, Liz, Robbie, Ellie, Elizabeth, Jacob, James, Peter, Teddy, and Oliver, and her sister, Audrey Reinsma; and numerous nieces and nephews.
