Darlene Boyle Obituary
She was born June 29, 1946 in Detroit, MI daughter of Kenneth and Annabelle (O'Connor) Schneider. She moved to Alaska in 1983 with her husband Bill and they moved to Sutton where she opened her shop known as the Lady Bug Greenhouse and Gift Shop at her home.
A Celebration of Life service will be held on June 20, 2012 at her home in Sutton and the family and friends will gather to share memories and celebrate her life.
Darlene enjoyed going camping and fishing with her husband Bill and he will remember her as the Love of his life whose courageous battle with cancer finally got the best of her and she went to be with her daughter, mother and father. Bill and Darlene were married for 30 years and he will miss her dearly until they meet again in Heaven.
Darlene is survived by her husband Bill of Sutton, Alaska, her aunts Frances and Charlotte; grandson Jonathan Coyle and his wife Amber and their daughter Payten; her cousins Chet and Linda Stevens; nephew Andrew Stevens and his wife Prissy and their twins Emily and Spencer. She is also survived by Bill's son Nicholas and his wife Melanie and their sons Keegan and Connor; her niece Andrea and her daughters Amber and Katie. She was preceded in death by her daughter Michele and her parents.
The family suggests memorials in her memory be made to the American Cancer Society.
The family was cared for by Alaskan Heritage Memorial Chapel and Crematory Wasilla, Alaska

Dear Bill, Darlene was a very special lady ...I was honored to know her and will never forget her. How fortunate to find Lady Bugs Greenhouse one day totally unplanned. Darlene and I often laughed together that the angels must have connected us later in life. Our friendship began amongst beautiful flowers (My goodness she had a green thumb!) and grew through shared life experiences. Especially during sad times, I would tell my husband, I need to drive to Sutton and get some "Darlene Therapy." She was so wise, comforting and kind. She was truly a person who practiced "Pay it Forward" (random acts of kindness...)
May your cherished memories comfort you at this sad time. With deepest sympathy, Patty Olmstead, Anchorage, Alaska

Bill, Sorry to hear of Darlene's passing. We enjoyed our visits with you both when we had a chance, especially walking through the green houses with all the flowers. Take care Bill,

For God has promised that he will do away with death and pain that death causes, for these things will be no more. I hope that these words be of some comfort.
