To know Darleen was to love her. So many memories. Put-in-bay.... endless conversations....the best confidant I will ever have... spending holidays together...sharing fur baby stories and of course her love of family friends and Elvis. My life would not be what it is without her..she helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life and then in true Darleen style she fixed it by introducing me to the man I would marry.
I will carry you in my heart always my friend.

Our condolences to the family. She was a great friend to us. Whenever we would get together it was always a “laugh fest”!
I admired her dedication to her volunteer work. She was a champion for CASA and battered women.
I’ll miss our lunch dates and conversations. Any time spent with her was enjoyable.
Rest in Heaven., my Friend We will miss you.
