She enjoyed the lifestyle caring for the animals and watching things grow. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband Jay, son Craig, brother Dale, and sister Ruth.  She is survived by her daughters Jaelyn (Tom) Wallace, Daryce (Anthony) Young, as well as sister Leora Farnsworth, 8 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews.  Her wishes were for a simple family graveside service, which will be held Friday, November 11, 2011.  She will be missed very much, but will always be in our hearts.  The family hopes that your fond memories of Darlene bring you peace and comfort.
