Delana was always a cheerful and kind person. She was Seminary teacher to two of our kids even though we were in a different ward. We were sad when they moved, but we also moved a few years later. Our sympathy to Steve and the children and grandchildren.

Please accept our deepest condolences from our family. I met Mrs. Aiton when Amy brought me home to meet her family. Her mom was so kind, generous, loving, and a special person that welcomed me with open arms. I love your family and will keep you all in my prayers.

We were so sorry to hear of Delano’s passing, but oh, the joy of reuniting with her precious daughter! At the holiday season, we often speak of that tragedy and of the sweet spirit at her service. I never listen to “What Child Is This?” without thinking of her. We pray that your family will be blessed with that same sweet spirit this week. We know you will! Chuck and Marsha Holm
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dalena, and the entire Aiton family, were a fixture of my childhood. Each week as we attended church and youth together Sister Aiton was there with a smile and her kind gentle ways. She was talented, fashionable, and genuinely kind. Much like her daughters she was beautiful and so loving towards others. I remember as a youth, maybe 12 or 13 years old, how Dalena patiently taught the girls Amy’s age how to write a check. Seems like something insignificant but to this day when I write a check I remember this. Her legacy lives on in her wonderful family and her testimony is seen in the lives of her children and grandchildren. All my love to your entire family at this time. May you take comfort in knowing she is with dear Jessica again and together they’re cheering you on!

One of my favorite memories of Sister Aiton was when she came to my seminary class and taught us about eternal life. She always knew that life didn't end at death, and taught me this over and over again from a young age. I will always be grateful to her for her love and support in faith.

Our youngest son, Archer, had a special relationship with Delana during her last year she was able to come to church. I remember him running up to her wheelchair and saying hi to her over and over on sundays. He was only just walking and could only say a few words but he recognized her and went out of his way to smile at her. And I’ll never forget the sweet smiles she gave back. She would light up every time. It’s a special memory we won’t ever forget.
