Verla Darlene Webster Fielding, 82, passed away of natural causes on Sunday, August 25, 2013 surrounded by her loving family. The younger of two children, she was born on January 29, 1931 in Idaho Falls, Idaho to Joseph LeRoy and Laura E. Tanner Webster. Raised and schooled in Idaho Falls, Idaho, she moved as a teenager to Ogden where she worked as a clerk at Scowcroft.

She met Darold David Fielding whose uncle was married to Darlene''s older sister, Agnes. They began dating and later married on January 21, 1950 in Elko, Nevada. They were happily married 63 years before Darold''s passing on June 16, 2013.
