Darlene was born in Carlisle, PA and came to this area in 2001. She worked for many years as a special needs educator at Atlantic High School. She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church New Smyrna Beach. Her family remembers her as loving soul who enjoyed gardening, reading and Bingo. Her very special interest though was her love for special needs children.
