She was a passionate cook and baker. Her culinary creations were enjoyed by the family and friends that she loved entertaining in her home. She started the tradition of sister's nights, which were filled with side-splitting laughter. Her grandchildren were here greatest source of joy and purpose in later life, and she lived to spend time with them. Darlene was a loving cat owner and enthusiast for most of her life.
