Mom (Dar) worked at Valley Bowl for many years. She always cherished her time spent at the Bowling Center and all of her friendships with the many people that she had contact with.

Great memories of Dar & I being partners in the doubles tournaments at Valley Bowl. Always lots of laughs and fun. Also enjoyed having her cookies at Christmas time. Missing you Dar!

Remembering all the years of friendship with Dar. We had some great times at the bowl and on trips to Reno. Dar cared about everyone she worked with and the customers as well. We had great times bowling and "playing". My thoughts and prayers go out to you girls. You will be missed Dar.

We had some good times and I got older bowling together and playing games in the bar after league and tournaments!! She was wise and always had a way of making you think!! You will be missed Dar!! Love you
