Darlene, I believe you are in heaven reunited with your Mom and Dad whom you loved and missed so much; in perfect health; laughing with that great laugh; always watching over Zachary, Marcus, and Macy who you loved so much and meant so much to you; and are at peace in the arms of your Savior, Jesus Christ.

Darlene, you took such great care of my mom while she was in the nursing home. Watching out for her and protecting her from that monster of a warden at Keepsake Village. Thank you so much for all you did not only for my mother, but for so many others. You were their angel when they had no voice!!

Miss & Love You ❤️ My Friend Rosie Asbury
She was one of the most kind-hearted people I’ve ever met. She helped me a lot. She is the reason I got the job at Keepsake. The second I walked in the door she took one look at me and saw me talking to a resident and said “I like her! I want her to work here!” and went straight into the office to recommend me. I encouraged her to branch out, be more independent, and live her life….but, only because she encouraged me to do so much more. She was the only person who cared enough about me to send cards and check on me. She made everyone around her feel loved and welcome.
