Darla Jeanne Roberts
65 a resident of Summers, Arkansas, passed away Friday, August 22, 2025 in Springdale, Arkansas. She was born December 2, 1959 in Corpus Christi, Texas, the daughter of James Charles J.C. and Edna Lois Stewart Doyle.
Darla will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Throughout her life, she wore many hats with grace and compassion, but her most cherished title was "Nanny" - a role she embraced with pride and unconditional love. Whether cheering from the sidelines at sporting events or beaming with pride at school functions, she was her grandchildren's biggest fan and fiercest supporter.
As a devoted and loving mother, Darla played an active role in every chapter of her children's lives. Her guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support were constants that shaped her family's foundation. Her warmth, strength, and generosity of spirit left an indelible mark on everyone around her.
A proud and passionate Razorback fan, Darla never missed an opportunity to celebrate her team. She approached life with that same passion - embracing each day with a joyful heart and sharing her light with all those fortunate enough to know her.
Darla's legacy is one of love, laughter, and deep dedication. Though she may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories we hold dear and in the lives she so beautifully touched.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, her father, James Charles J.C. Doyle and her step mom Sheryl Doyle.
Darla was survived by her husband Preston Roberts of the home; four children, Shanna Owens of Elm Springs, Arkansas, Josh Owens of Summers, Arkansas, Amber Halfacre of Farmington, Arkansas, and Chuck Roberts of Lincoln, Arkansas; her mother, Edna (Stewart) Jones and stepdad, Tom Jones of Summers, Arkansas; two sisters, Donna (Doyle) Villines and her husband Tony Villines, Jamie Brown of Lincoln, Arkansas; one step sister, Angie (Doyle) Ferguson
and husband Steve Ferguson of Portland, Oregon; one brother, James Doyle of Summers, Arkansas; eight grandchildren and one great-great grandson; numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorial services will be held Wednesday, August 27, 2025 - 10:00 A.M. at the Luginbuel Chapel in Prairie Grove, Arkansas.
