She never missed a game or an opportunity to shout at the TV cheering for her home team. Darlene enjoyed many things during her life on this earth. Things such as Jeeps, travelling, decorating her home, being with her dog, Shelby, Reality TV shows, candy, shopping, and Starbucks. But the things Darlene loved most about this life was spending time with all her family, children, and grandchildren. Her family was her life. She cared immensely for her daughter, Khristina, and was always there for her in every way. She loved doting on them in all ways. She loved the holidays because it meant they were all together. Darlene was known for her spectacular sense of humor and her ability to find all the funny things in life. Her love for her family was brighter than any star in the sky, you could see it in her eyes every time she looked at you. Darlene will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We know that her spirit lives on in the lives of those who will always love and remember her for the beautiful person she is. A private service will be held at Lewis Funeral Chapel in Bremerton.
