(Ruby) Palmeri, of Red Lion, passed from this life-to-life eternal with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at 7 am from her residence with her family by her side, at the age of 70. She was the loving wife of Torre L. Palmeri, of Red Lion, to whom she married on March 30th, 2021, and the late Joseph R. Myers.
She was born in Columbia, Lancaster County, on November 25, 1952, and was the daughter of the late Estella Grace Ruby. Darlene graduated from Red Lion High School, Class of 1970. She worked as a Teacher's Assistant in the Red Lion High School, and then for Project Search, assisting special needs children, retiring in 2015. She also worked at Michaels in York, for ten years, where she taught classes to children in creating crafts. Darlene was very crafty. She loved arts and crafts, especially painting. She is known for her very special and beautiful handmade cards, brightening the days of everyone who received one. She loved canning, volunteering at the Hearts for Hunger Food Pantry at Pleasant View Church, were she and her husband are very active members. Torre and Darlene attended Bible Study at the church and hosted Bible Study in their home. She was a very loving, kind and very generous lady, who donated not only her time if someone needed a hand, but also financially to many different organizations over the years. She was always there to lend a helping hand or an ear to listen to anyone who needed it. Her favorite things were spending time with the family, especially her grandchildren and spoiling them. She loved celebrating birthdays and Christmas. Her great sense of humor will always be cherished in the hearts of those closest to her.
