    My Aunt Darlene was a force in life...very passionate and outspoken! I always enjoyed discussing politics, religion, and life in America with her. Lord knows shes's in a better place.

    Chris, I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. I have many fond and fun memories of your mom. We were part of the Ski Bunnies. Our friendship extended beyond our ski bunny days. Dar will be solely missed.

    Darlene was a wonderful friend of 34 years. We skied , golfed and played tennis together. She was so much fun to be with and has left me with a lot of cherished memories. In the last few years we have not done many sports activities but replaced them with get togethers where we discussed the situation of the world. I will miss her but she will live forever in my heart! ❤️

    Darlene has been a wonderful friend for many years. When I moved to Pittsburgh in 1990 I met her playing tennis. She took me under her wings and introduced me to the ski bus where I became part of her group. Because of Dar I got to know many people and developed many friendships. She was the greatest in so many ways. Thank you for being part of my life and you will live on in my heart forever.
