Kenneth Lilley of Vanceboro North Carolina, Delrae Travers of Falls Church Virginia. Norman Scheie, Roberta Cruder and Francie Lilley preceding her in death. Darlene had a passion for cooking, with a collection of over 50 cookbooks. She could often be found in the kitchen trying out a new recipe from one of her books, tweaking a recipe or creating her own recipe. She is most known for her Spaghetti sauce. It was so delicious her family would tell her they could just drink it from a cup. She used her culinary skills often when someone from her congregation (Ransomville Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses) was ill or in need of encouragement. Even when she became housebound, she would cook for others and have her husband Paige deliver to the person/family it was made for. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses she was always ready to share her love of the Bible and faith in her hope for the future with anyone who would listen. Darlene also never met a stranger. She had the uncanny knack of making friends with anyone she met. People gravitated to her innate sense of humor and smile always remarking on the flower she wore in her hair which she never left home without. Darlene was not much of a sports enthusiast until about the age of 50 when she attended her first Buffalo Bills game. From then on, she was a diehard Bills fan. You could see her on game day with her Buffalo Bills flower in her hair and one-of-a-kind Bills ring on her finger. Darlene, Dar, Muv, EEEheart, Momma, Mom, Gammie,Gramma, Sis, Sister Silvis and Lucy (her favorite TV show) left a legacy of love, humor, hope and faith to her immediate family, extended family and friends. She will be severely missed by all. Private services will be held at the convenience of the family. Arrangements entrusted to HARDISON FUNERAL HOMES, RANSOMVILE NY
