Darlyne resided at Morningside Heights Care Center for the last four and a half years. She was active with the American Legion Auxiliary and the Order of the Eastern Star.

Darlyne was an avid pet lover, and she treasured all dogs and cats. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Darlyne and Wendell enjoyed many trips together, as well as going to casinos and concerts. They also enjoyed quiet time at Moon Lake.
