Darlene would give the shirt off her back for anyone, even a complete stranger!
She has always been drawn to careers that involved helping and caring for others!
She was a PCA for the last 15 years and she was very passionate about it. She was also an active member in her community, having worked as a Millbury school lunch lady and cross guard. Before becoming a PCA full time she had her own cleaning company for 20+ years. She loved to cook and be with family and friends. She loved having big family dinners, the beach, swimming and tanning every summer. She loved to be outdoors tending to her massive gardens. She absolutely loved to help people and to see them smile and be happy and comfortable in life! Her heart was as big as her beautiful smile and will be remembered always!
