Darlene was quite the seamstress in her younger years making a lot of her own clothing, even making a suit for her brother.  She liked to knit and to make ceramics also.

Darlene was a one of a kind.  She had a big heart with room for all.  She genuinely cared about the people around her and was an instant friend to everyone she met.  She had a fun sense of humor.  She loved to laugh but really enjoyed making other’s laugh.  She was partial to Chihuahuas and had a few of them for pets that she loved very much.
