Darlene Ann Downing

Hello you K Kids! So sorry I wasn't able to attend Darlene's service. I so wanted to be there. Please know how much the Spinas clan mourns her passing. We all have such memories of the great meals and fun times when we spent a weekend at your place in Willow Creek fishing and just hanging out. Those great meals when our parents would throw down a big feed were great! Your mom's kind eyes and infectuous sense of humor will always be remembered. I know you got a chance to chat with mom, but...

I was privileged to become acquainted with Darlene during the years I worked at Hoopa El. I enjoyed with gentle but firm demeanor when she worked with her students. I learned from her. She became a good friend. She will be missed.

Darlene was one of the most kindhearted people I've ever met, she was an inspiration to me and to many children that she so unselfishly taught. I will miss her smiling face and her kind nature. My prayers are with her family.

I was so sorry to read of Darline's passing this week. I worked with her for 9 yrs.at HES. She was an amazing person! I know her presence will be missed by many,many children and adults.

Missing you soooo much GG! Wish you were still just a phone call away. Thanks for being the best grandma, friend and mother. Love ya always and forever!

As President of The Board of Trustees, Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District, we offer our prayers to Darlene's Family. Thank You for sharing Darlene with us, she touched so many young lives in her years with us. Darlene will be greatly missed in our community.
