Darlene and Larry were the parents of two children, Cindy and Charles. Family was always the most important thing to Dar. She was very close to her mother and father, brothers and sisters, children, nieces and nephews. She was the fun Aunt constantly spoiling all the kids.  She also had exceptionally close relationship with her granddaughter Lacy, they were inseparable and the best of friends. She had a special relationship with each of her grandchildren Megan, Jordon, Tayler, and Mackenzie.  She loved and enjoyed being with her nine great-grandchildren. They brought a smile to her face and kept her feeling young.

A lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she taught junior Sunday school for many years. She had a clever sense of humor and no one was safe from her practical jokes. She was a wonderful cook. Many people were the recipients of her raisin cookies and raspberry pies.

She is survived by her husband, Larry Roberts; brothers Charles Adams and Douglas Adams; son Charles Roberts; and grandchildren Lacy Adams (Allen Jacobsen), Megan (Byron) Lovan, Jordon Roberts, Tayler Gole, Mackenzie Roberts, and nine great-grandchildren.
