Words can't express how sorry we are for your loss. We were all extremely fortunate to have had Darlene in our lives. What an incredibly strong woman she was in all aspects of her life. Memories and laughs to last a lifetime. We miss her already.
Love you all. Sandra and Joe, Crystal and Dawson, Victoria and Al, David.

Having worked with Darlene for many years, I knew her to be passionate in both family and work. She loved to share the details of her family life and it was so clear how important family was to her.
She was a fighter, a doer, a sparkplug and the consummate right hand. She got things done and was a huge part of the incredible success that Davis + Henderson achieved.
It’s hard to believe that this was a battle that she couldn’t overcome.
Our sincere condolences to you Stuart and to your family.

Stuart, Jen, Andrea & Andrew, Nicole & Kaillum, Our Darlene was taken from us far too soon, but she lived each day to the fullest. She got stalled for a few minutes when she first got her diagnosis, but then focused on her goal and fought with everything she had. She was a wonderful sister and aunt to us and we enjoyed all the times we were lucky enough to have with her. She had a wonderful work ethic but at the same time she knew that family was first and family was so important to her. I admired her for those qualities. She spoke her mind, and for that we are forever grateful. We will miss her talks the most, as she was always there to listen. We are glad that she is not suffering anymore and I know she is smiling down on us now and so proud of all of you for the loving care that you provided to her, especially in her final days. We are always here for you and love you all so much.

Stuart, Jen, Andrea & Andrew, Nicole & Kaillum,
Just wanted to convey that I am so sorry to hear about Darlene's passing. She was a very strong person and fought as hard as she could. Darlene always made me feel so welcome like family in her home and any time we got together for family functions. She always bought me a Christmas gift, which was so thoughtful. We had a lot of good times together, but especially enjoyed our time together to meet "Victor Newman". God Bless all of you.

Stuart, lots of memories were made in Blackstock at the many family reunions hosted in your home. Darlene left so many lessons for her girls. Her work ethic was off the charts. Her vegetable garden was a point of pride as was the maple syrup harvested. She showed her girls anyone can take to the stage to dance at any age. She supported her family fully in all their interests. Thinking of all of you at this very difficult time.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. - Thomas Campbell
The world is a little less bright today. Darlene always brought a wonderful laugh, had great patience, placed a well-timed and straight-forward "tell-you-where-to-go", and in a rare way deeply cared for those around her. I very much enjoyed the time I spent working with her, and the vivid memories live on. With sympathy, Dave and Cosette.

My sincere condolences go to the family on the loss of Darlene. She was a great person that I had the fortune of working with for over 25 years. She was dedicated and committed to her work and was admired and respected by all that she worked with. She was also dedicated to her loving family as she spoke of you each and every day. She was very proud of her immediate family and shared that with all of us regularly. Darlene was a key contributor to many successful years we had at Davis + Henderson. We are heartbroken over her passing. Another good one has been taken from us

Darlene was one of the greatest people I have ever met. Selfless, loving, quietly competent, funny, smart, loyal and grounded. She loved her family dearly and would do anything for them. She also loved her work family at D+H and spent a lifetime giving her best everyday.
Heaven just took back an angel, and it won’t be too long before she is running the show there too!!
Stuart, Jen, Andrea and Nicole please know that our thoughts are with you all at this significant time and for the loss of a beautiful wife and mom. Barb + Lisa x

Our thoughts are with her family, friends and those in Finastra who knew Darlene. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of so many.
Sleep peacefully.
