Darlene was a loving, gracious  mother, who enjoyed
spending time with her children and grandchildren.  She was a
huge animal lover and loved reading and working on puzzles. Having
never smoked, she courageously fought lung disease for 18 years,

activities.

at Advocate Medical Group.




Rest Peacefully mom. We love you.
