Darlene (Kasperek) Dargo, age 78, passed away peacefully at her home in Glennie, Michigan, on December 31, 2025.
Darlene was born on June 12, 1947, in Wayne, Michigan, to John and Helen (Snyr) Kasperek.

On September 9, 1967, Darlene married the love of her life, Richard Dargo. Together, they made their home in Garden City, Michigan, for 47 years and built a life centered on family, love, and devotion. Darlene treasured time spent with her family, relaxing at their lake home, traveling, and getting lost in a good book.
Darlene is survived by her beloved husband of 58 years, Richard; her daughter, Amy (Paul) Cordes of Royal Oak, Michigan; her cherished granddaughter, Olivia Cordes; her dear sister, Dottie (Tom) Lawson of Wayne, Michigan; and many loving nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Darlene was preceded in death by her sister, Diane Kanouse, and her brother, John Kasperek.
