Darlene liked the simple things in life. She enjoyed going for rides around our beautiful countryside and stopping along the way for a bite to eat or an ice cream cone. She was an animal lover and lucky were all the dogs and cats that entered her home. A favorite pastime was watching the deer, turkeys and other wildlife in the fields surrounding her house. She liked feeding the birds and she enjoyed her flower gardens but most of all she enjoyed her family who will miss her terribly. Besides her parents and her husband, Darlene was predeceased by her son Robert White (Ted). She is survived by her son Dale (Stephany) White of Grovetown, GA, her son Charles (Patti) White of Hudson Falls, NY, her daughter Nancy (Tim) Waite of West Pawlet, VT, and her daughter Irene (Allan) Giroux of Granville, NY.
