Darlene was a bright light whose warmth and joy touched everyone around her. She deeply cherished her family, especially her grandchildren, and took immense pride in cheering them on at their sporting events. A creative spirit, she loved painting and crafting and found peace and happiness whenever she was near the water, whether swimming in a lake, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a day of boating. Known for her constant smile and cheerful nature, Darlene brought happiness wherever she went. She was dearly loved and will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
