Darlene will be remembered for her charismatic personality, her keen sense of humor, her infinite generosity and willingness to give anyone, Anything... Or at the very least make sure that you were well-fed. But mostly, she will be remembered for the amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and Nanny that she was.
She will be truly missed by her husband Robert Marshall, her daughters Shelly (Jacques), Coreen (Gary) and Noreen, her 5 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Please join us for a celebration of Life, to be held in Darlene's honor. on Saturday, June 25, 2016, at 2:00pm at the Canal Flats Civic Centre.
