Dear Angelo, Eugenia & Family, Darlene has been a part of my life for over 60 years and her unexpected death was devastating to all who knew and loved her. Whenever I think of Darlene, her image is of a very classy, intelligent lady who had a gift for style, house decorating and specializing in gourmet recipes. Darlene always had compassion and empathy for people in need supporting ARC and different charities. Above all, Darlene’s love for Angelo, children and grandchildren was beyond measure. Our get-to-gethers with KIT made for very memorable, unforgettable experiences that we all hold in dear in our hearts and minds never to be forgotten. We are comforted by our faith that Darlene rests with the heavenly angels and in the palm of Jesus. My deepest sympathies and condolences are with the De Angelo family. Peace and love be with you always, Rita Castaldo & Family
Josephine Davies left a message on December 19, 2021:
My cousin Darlene loved nothing more than family. She was happiest when she got to see her grandchildren and hold her newest grand baby. She possessed an inner peace and spiritual priorities that eschewed superficial outward shows to impress the world. I admired her.
