Darlene (Trant) Recore, 60, of Cumberland, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on June 2, 2025. She was the long-time, loving partner of Paul Trottier for many years. Born in Woonsocket, she was the daughter of the late David Trant and Saundra Portman.
Darlene lived her life with the goal of making other people smile and have fun. She always lit up the room. She had a presence that is irreplaceable. She loved opening her home and hosting family and friends, camping, the beach, spoiling her grandkids, and country music.
Darlene is survived by her two children, Taryn Murphy and her husband Frank Murphy, Chad Recore and his wife Samantha Recore; her two grandsons who she loved more than anything in this world, Myles Murphy and Mateo Murphy; her siblings Joseph Trant, Lorri Mowry, Karrie Rogers, and Michael DiRaimo; her longtime partner Paul Trottier and his children, Andre Trottier (partner Tara), Nicole Trottier (partner Scott and children Mila and Maddy), Daniel Trottier (partner Amber and daughter Lydia).
Family and Friends are kindly invited to a Visitation on Wednesday June 11th from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM in the O’Neill Funeral Home located at 3102 Mendon Rd. Cumberland. A Celebration of Life will follow with “Beer and Dynamites” per Darlene’s wishes.
In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Mitchell Farm Equine Retirement, as Darlene was passionate about the retired horses being able to “Frolic till the end of their days."

Paul, I was very sad to hear of Darlene's passing. Although we had never met, from the pictures I've seen and the beautiful words written about her, I know I would have enjoyed knowing her. I hope you can find peace in the memories you have of the years spent with her. My deepest condolences to you, your family and Darlene's family.
