In 1977 she Married Thomas Fowler who now predeceases her. They enjoyed going to Oxen Pulling contests with their three Oxen teams. Darlene's priority and greatest pride was always that of her family. Her oldest son Mike, whom she loved and admired for his wisdom, strength and unfailing love and support. Her younger son, Mark, whom she also loved dearly for his devotion and unconditional love and always being there for her; also their mutual love of gardening. Donna, who was more like a daughter than a daughter-in-law, and a best friend, always giving solid advice when needed. Alyssa was Darlene's pride and joy- a bond so strong between them from the beginning and continued to grow. They confided in each other in every aspect of their lives.

She is survived by her son, Michael Greenwood and his wife Donna; granddaughter, Alyssa Greenwood; brothers, Richard Jewett and his wife Beverly, and James Jewett and his wife Nancy; and several nieces and nephews.
