My deepest condolences to Mrs. Darden's family; I'm saddened to learn of her passing. I was fortunate to have been a student of Mrs. Darden's at Henrico High School (class of 1981), where she was a fabulous gym class teacher. She expected the best of us & was both inspiring & great fun. I'm grateful to her for introducing our class to archery, as I enjoyed this new interest through college & beyond. Godspeed, Ms. Darden, it was an honor to know you. - Kind regards, Karen Jones Cheek & Family...

She was my favorite teacher in high school. She would be tough when it was needed but I always consider her the BEST teacher I had. Rest in Peace Ms. Darden.
