I will always remember Darlene as one of the best people I ever worked with at St.Joes'. She was devoted to her "little patients" at work and to her family at home. She was more than a co-worker she was a friend. My thoughts and condolences go to Todd and Rob.

I am so glad I got to give you one last hug before you left this earth. You were a wonderful co-worker and I am thrilled that you took care of three of my four children when they were born. You were so happy to hear how they are all doing now that they are grown. God Rest Darlene and condolences to your boys. Angela Kline (Armada, MI)

Darlene was a wonderful nurse and coworker. I worked with her for 18 years and she taught all of us something about taking care of new moms and babies. She talked of her sons with great love. My deepest sympathy to Rob and Todd.

I worked with Darlene on afternoons at St.Joes starting back in 81....she was a hard worker and there are many Moms and their babies who received her special care. We still talk at work about "the way Darlene did things". She had a special touch! My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I worked with Darlene for almost 30 years. She always was a joy and would make you laugh with her colorful language! She will be missed by many at "Henry Joes." My deepest sympathy to Rob and Todd. She really loved you and talked about you often.

Deepest sympathy to Robert and Todd. There will only ever be one Darlene. She could take on any assignment and get it DONE. I haven't worked in over 6 years, but I think of her often

Darlene and I go back from 1976 at St. Joes. What a loving dedicated person and nurse she was. I can still picture her clearly in my mind rounding that corner at East with those bundle of joys. My deepest sympathy to her family
