Lawrence, Darlene

It is with great sadness that the family of Darlene Lawrence announce her peaceful passing on June 16, 2023.

On November 23,1963, she married the love of her life, Marvin. Together, they raised their family in Fairfield, Ohio. After retiring as a bus driver for Fairfield City Schools, Darlene and Marvin moved to Sebring, Florida to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. She loved to socialize, dance and golf. She enjoyed riding around the neighborhood on the golf cart, stopping at garage sales for extra fun. She was happy-go-lucky and her laugh would make you smile.

She is survived by her husband and best friend of 59 years, Marvin Lawrence. Lovingly remembered by her daughters, Sherry (Fred) Meyer, Lori (Brian) Horn ,grandchildren Chelsey (Garrett) Burkhart, Marissa (Dustin) Wombles, Chayton

(Ember) Patrick, great grandchildren Braxton, Presley, and Phoenix, a brother Bob (Sandy) Ramsey, and many nieces, nephews, and special friends.

We shared our children together all these years. I will miss the summers on their patio swapping stories of when our children were young. It was fitting that my son also called you Mom. You are missed.

Sherry, Lori and all the family, we are so sorry to hear about Darlene. Last time we saw her was at Aunt Roberta's funeral.
She was always so much fun to be with. We used to go to Green River Lake just about every weekend and always had such a good time. Family and friends came from Ohio and family and friends came from Stanford and we would meet at Green River and fish, boat ride, ski, play cards and games, cook out and just enjoy being together. Those were the good ole' days!!! We loved Darlene and will miss her. So sorry for your loss. We love you all, too.
