Darlene Grace Ellis

I am sorry to hear about Darlene's passing. I went to school with Darlene
in Moravia, and my brothers and sister and I attended the Milan Baptist Church in Locke when we were young children as did Darlene and her family.

I am grateful for the opportunity to sign this online guest book even though I am far away.
From the time I lived in Philadelphia, I also remember well how faithfully Darlene came to church on Sundays and served at the Community Dinner as long as she was able to. This faithfulness and devotion certainly was an encouragement to many, as well as her cheerful spirit in spite of her health problems.
God's comfort to her family and peace in knowing that she is with God.

I will miss seeing Darlene at Tenth Church. She would often make an effort to encourage me, and she would always greet me cheerfully, whether she was busy helping with ACTS or just waiting for services or her ride home.

I was sorry to read of Darlene's passing. I often wondered where Darlene was living and the rest of you. It is sad how we all lose touch over the years. We have a lot of memories from our times of growing up in Locke and attending church and school together. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am sorry to hear about Darlene. My heart goes out to all of you. I will always remember our good times at church and in school. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you God's peace.

We did not know Darlene personally, but we extend our condolences and sympathy to the family.

Your loved one suffers no more, for she is now with our Lord.

I'm not sure that I'll get to the funeral but wanted all of you to know that my prayers & thoughts are with you & your families. We had alot of good times in Pioneer Girls. She was a good person.

I went to school with Darlene. She was a sweet, friendly girl.
