Darlene graduated from Jefferson High School with a high school degree. She married the love of her life, Walter Lloyd Moore, March 3rd, 1951. Darlene and Walter routinely attended Catholic services with their three children throughout their 60 years of marriage. She attended mass at St. John Fisher Parish between 1966 until 1993 when they moved to Lincoln City, Oregon and attended St. Augustine Catholic Church. In the later part of her life she lived at Hearthstone of Beaverton in Memory Care and continued to receive communion.
Darlene had a career in bookkeeping for Barts Hush Puppy and had a passion for dancing, golf, swimming and bowling. When not doing other activities, she often could be found playing with her cats, Sophie and Foxy, which she loved dearly.
She is survived by her children Sherri Ann Moore, Tom Moore and Jim Moore; grandchildren Matthew Taylor, Scott Taylor, Laura Pavelka, Janelle Moore, Tony Moore, Alyssa Willard and Kaylie Tandberg; and many great grandchildren.
Darlene served as the "glue" to ensure family continued to communicate even though the family lived in all parts of the country. She was well loved by all and will be dearly missed.
A funeral mass will be held at 11:00 am, June 15th, 2016 at St. John Fisher Parish. Darlene will be laid to rest with her husband, Walter, at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Oregon.
