She devoted decades to church service, most notably spending over 22 years as a Primary organist, Primary secretary, library worker, and scouting volunteer.

Darlene was a lifelong student with an insatiable curiosity and firmly believed that education could be pursued down many paths. She held a deep passion for genealogy, compiling many names for her family records. She was also an avid student of English history and British culture.
