She was born and raised in Devine, Texas, where she later married the love of her life, Cecilio Gonzalez, Jr., at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Devine. They later moved to Austin, Texas, to raise their family.

Delfina was the youngest of four siblings, a devoted wife, sister, and loving mother, known for her talents as a baker and seamstress. In her younger years, Delfina enjoyed designing and sewing hats and clothing. She worked for the Austin Independent School District as a Food Service Manager and chose to retire to care for her family and husband.

Delfina was a devout Catholic and a faithful member of St. Louis King of France Catholic Church. She deeply believed in the power of prayer. She prayed for her family and for others, carrying their needs in her heart with quiet faith and devotion. She always carried her Rosary, finding comfort and strength in prayer wherever she went.
