Darlene Jean (Gordon) Wall went home to be with her father in heaven on Friday July 30, 2010. She was a wife, mom, grandma, baby sister, daughter, aunt and friend.
Darlene was a fun-loving, good-spirited woman who cared for everyone around her. Her pride and joys in life were her husband, kids, grandkids and dogs. She was loved by all who knew her.
