Darlene was born in Hertford County, North Carolina on July 27, 1960, a daughter of the late Ray Anderson Farmer and Evelyn Cecil Farmer. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was a talented floral designer and always created amazing arrangements for any occasion.

Darlene was a dear friend to many and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, SGM Johnnie Ray Farmer.
