For all of her life, Darlene was a caregiver to her family. She loved bowling on the lady's league at Starlite Lanes and won many pins and badges for her skills, but mostly she just enjoyed the sport and the friendships she made. She also loved to play bingo and enjoyed playing gin rummy and pinnacle with her family. She was very creative and loved to crochet. She made many beautifully patterned items that her family will cherish for years to come. She had 9 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren whom she loved dearly. She is survived by her sons, Thomas (Melanie) Taylor, Blackfoot, Idaho; and Ted (Sara) Taylor, Sprague River, Oregon; 5 grandchildren, Thomas (Melinda) Taylor, Sarah Taylor, Jeremy (Stephanie) Taylor, and Holly (Rob) Miller and her great and great-great-grandchildren.
