Walker, Darlene Sandra

May 20, 1948 – February 10, 2013

 

 

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and dear friend to many.

Surrounded by her family, Darlene passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer. Darlene and Wayne were married on March 19, 1966 and made their home in Hanley. Darlene worked as an administrator for the R.M. of Rosedale for 36 years, retiring in 2009.

Darlene was active in her community, auditing books for many different organizations. She enjoyed gardening, coffee with friends and playing cards with her grandchildren. She was a great baker and anyone fortunate enough to have tasted her homemade buns can attest to this! She also enjoyed “road trips” going to the farm at Hawarden to “check the crops”.

Darlene was predeceased by her parents and father-in-law. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Wayne, her loving children Tracy (Tod) and Trent (Christine). She was a proud grandmother to Alix, Austin, Brandon, Nicholas and Tyler.

She will be dearly missed by her sisters Darcia MacGillivray (Bill – deceased), Valerie Persoage (Randy), Lorna Swanson (Bill) and Connie Chuley (Garth). She will also be missed by her mother-in-law Gwen Walker, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, other family members and friends.

At Darlene’s request a private family service was held. A time of lunch and fellowship took place at the Hanley Community Hall at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 16, 2013.

Interment to follow at a later date.

For friends so wishing, memorial donations in memory of Darlene may be directed to the Hanley United Church or the Hanley Centennial Hall Fund.

Hanson’s Funeral Home of Davidson was in care of arrangements.
