Ella Darlene Kinnamon

Oct. 24, 1953 ~ June 22, 2019

Ella Darlene Kinnamon, 65, of Meeker, Colorado, passed away on June 22, 2019, at St. Mary’s Medical Center.

Darlene was born in Wheeler, Texas, to Coene Carter Davis on Oct. 24, 1953. Although she did work outside of the home at times, she thought her biggest accomplishment was being a wife, mom, grandma and great-grandma to her family. She also enjoyed working with her husband and three sons on their ranch.

Darlene is survived by her husband Larry Kinnamon; sons Arthur Rhea Kinnamon, Larry Eugene “Gene”  Kinnamon (spouse Laura), Steven Samuel Kinnamon; five grandkids, Logan Kinnamon (spouse Lyndsay), Bailey Kinnamon, Deliah, Tegan and Killian Jo Kinnamon; and one great-grandson, Luke Brady Kinnamon. She is also survived by three sisters: Dianne Wiltgen of Grand Junction, Norma Bicknell (brother-in-law Ron) of Grand Junction, and Deborah Gooch of Pampa, Texas; and many nieces and nephews.  Her great love, sense of humor and cheery, helpful nature will be missed by all.

A memorial service will be held at the Fairfield Center, 200 Main St., Meeker, Colorado, on Saturday, July 20, 2019, at 10 a.m.  Please join the family for a celebration of her life.

Memorial donations may be made to Meeker 4-H Club, P.O. Box 270, Meeker, Colorado, 81641, in lieu of flowers.
