She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; and a sister, Norma Dunlap.
Darlene had the gift of hospitality and a true servant’s heart. She was a devoted wife and mother and was always looking for ways to serve others. Darlene graduated from Topeka High School in 1953 and retired after 28 years of customer service in banking. She attended First Church of God in Kendallville and loved the Lord dearly. She also enjoyed reading, music and traveling.
