We are deeply saddened and heart broken to hear of Darlene's death. She was the sweetest ,kindness person. She taught my children, and I gave Derrick and Daniel allergy shots!! We shared many laughs about that. Most recently, we shared our Wednesday nights at yoga, trying not to laugh to much, so that we could actually do it right!! Will miss you sweet friend, one day we'll do yoga in heaven.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Mrs. Barnes had the most tender heart and was genuinely kind to everyone she met. I am so grateful to have known her. She was full of love. I will cherish memories of how happy & peaceful she was at the beach. And how just the thought of her kids made her smile. Many, many prayers for the Barnes family for your very tragic loss. She will be greatly missed.

Hi. I had Mrs. Barnes as a substitute teacher, and she was always very kind. She believed in me at a very tough time in my life. The way she approached every situation was very different. It directly affected the person that I am today. She never blew up or lost her cool. You are definitely missed sweetheart. This news has saddened me as I’m on my deployment today. May your soul rest.

Darlene was one or the sweetest people God ever made. She was a delightful blessing to so many. Her smile was a touch from God. Delight in the beautiful memories you have, and prepare to spend an eternity with her in heaven. We are praying comfort and peace for your family.

Your lost is great and grieving is perfectly okay. The promise of God at Revelaion 21:3,4 gives comfort. The Bible says in the near future death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away. We hope in God's promise.

Mrs. Barnes was a wonderful teacher and friend to all of her students. I had the privilege of having her as a teacher twice, once at WMJH & again at WOHS. We had many breakfasts together in home economics glass. Years after graduation she still knew me. She was certainly one of a kind and truly missed. Prayers for all that knew her and her family that she loved and bragged on so much.

My prayers to this family. I can't remember if Ms Barnes taught me, but I remember her somehow. I do remember that I went to school (and I think rode the bus at some point?) with Dusty, one of the nicest guys I remember from school days... I only know that she must have been at least partially responsible for that. I am praying for you and your family, Dusty.

Darlene was a special customer who soon became a friend of us all at Car Wash West. Her presence made us all mindful of a strong Christian woman who always shed light to us all. Those she touched will never forget her and her ability to encourage will remain not only in my heart but the hearts of my employees as well. Rest In Peace sweet friend and we will see you for coffee one day in heaven

I first met Darlene in high school. She was the girl with the sweetest smile and generous heart and was the same as an adult. As a teacher she encouraged her students to strive for more than they dreamed they could be and helped them reach those goals. Darlene will be missed by everyone fortunate to have met her.

Dear, Dear Kevin. My heart is broken. I have been in constant prayer for you, your children and all of the family. I know you have so many questions, but there are questions we will never have answered while here on Earth. Force yourself to not live with "what if" and live only in each moment. Concentrate on what is beautiful about what Darlene gave you and all of us. I have only love and beautiful memories of our friendship so many years ago. Love you and lifting you up in prayer my friend.

Darlene was a dear friend to me from WMJH teaching together to WMHS again. She exuded love and understanding. When I think of the word “gracious,” I think of Darlene. I loved her sweet children and was grateful to teach two. When Peyton died, she wrote me a poem, which I treasure. I ll never forget her. My love to all family.
