Dilcy was married to James N. Sparger; and to this union three children were born. 

Dilcy loved spending time with her grandchildren; watching wrestling;  especially Hulk Hogan; doing crossword puzzles; watching the soaps and Jerry Springer.  She loved baking cakes; and on Sundays she would always have three or four different cakes awaiting her grandchildren’s arrival.
