Together for 63 years they raised eight children. Darlene's heart was full of love not only for her family but for anyone she came in contact with. Anyone who met her was immediately drawn to her. She had a special gift of making everyone feel important and loved. Her greatest joy came from serving others. She loved her grandchildren and cared for them up until the time she was too ill. She was a member of the LDS Church where she faithfully served in any capacity that she was asked to. Darlene was also a lifetime member of the American Legion Auxiliary. She was a very talented cook and realized her lifetime dream of opening a restaurant in Midway in 1988. She loved being at the restaurant and cooking for others but most of all making new friends. She loved visiting and getting to know everyone who came through the door of the Burgermeister. She was often teased about giving away more food than she sold. Every day Darlene emulated the teaching 'As I have loved you, love one another'. May we all live as she lived and loved as she loved. Darlene is survived by her husband Gene, eight children: Mike (Joan), Craig (Debbie), Bill (Beverly), Karl (Mary), Bob (Jolyn), Genene (Alan), Sharon (Ty), Kent (Heather).
