Delores was born on December 28, 1933. The third child of four born to Holger and Elsie Christoffersen, Delores grew up in Turlock and attended the local schools including Turlock High School. She enjoyed playing basketball, ping pong with her dad, and archery in the basement of the “girl’s gym”.
She met Stanley Rodmen Sondeno, and though he was older they knew there was something real. Stan attended San Jose State and then went into the Air Force before marrying Miss Christoffersen. He hitch-hiked home for the wedding, but he made it and they were married on October 3, 1953. After a short stint in Roswell, New Mexico they moved to San Jose, where Stan taught at Camden High School and Delores did books for the Ford Dealer
