administration and marketing services at ESPN, died of cancer Feb. 1, the network

Delia joined ESPN in 1987 in the sports network's
affiliate sales and marketing department. Her leadership and organizational skills helped
to lay the groundwork for many administrative procedures that affiliate sales and
