Darlene met her forever love, Jerry Gee, while they were both attending Henrietta High School. The celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary with their family on Oct. 16, 2024.

Darlene was stubborn, a little mischievous, but had a sweet spirit and great love for her family. She loved her jewelry and Coach purses and drawers full of kitchen gadgets, most of which were never used.

She made the best doughnut cakes and, for as long as she was able, creating wonderful holiday meals for the family she adored. She also loved her “breakfast of champions”: bananas and chocolate chip cookies, washed down with Diet Dr. Pepper.

She was a faithful member of Hillcrest Church of Christ. Her spot alongside her devoted husband will be noticeably empty.

Darlene was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Johnny Williams; a granddaughter, Tatum; a son-in-law Raymond Deweber; a nephew, Mike Williams; a brother-in-law, David Gee; and her father-and-mother-in-law, H.L. “Harmy” and Gladys (Moore) Gee.
