Delcinia graduated from South High School in Akron, class of 1965. She later earned a bachelor’s degree.  She lived in Nashville, TN for the last 42 years and retired from the State of  Tennessee where she worked in the Treasury Department as a Retirement Counselor.

Delcinia Costa was a tremendous blessing showered on the Costa family by our Heavenly Father. She had the gift of meeting people all over the world “where they were”, empathizing with each. She cherished her family, friends, and loved ones and enjoyed entertaining them for holiday dinners, worshiping God with them, or traveling to all corners of the world. She visited almost every continent on earth and  made friends wherever she went. Delcinia extended genuine faith, care, warmth, friendship, and love to all who accepted it.

Delcinia is survived by her sons, Courtney William Fullum and Darryl (Christy) Drake Fullum; a host of grandchildren and great-grand-children; Costa brothers, Malcolm (Crystal), Dana, Sir John and Weylin; Costa sisters, Neysa (Obi) Badili and Torin (Isaac) Miller; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and other adopted family and friends.
