Darlene was born in Rabbit Lake, SK on November 16th, 1942 to Ina Belle and Cecil Parks. She was the youngest of 12 children. Her mom passed away in 1949 when Darlene was 7 years old, and her dad Cecil passed away in 1963.
Darlene was married in 1959 to the love of her life, (Armand) Joseph Tremblay, in Courval, SK. It was love at first sight. They went on to have 3 beautiful children: Dwain, Carol, and Reg. Darlene was married to Armand for 15 years before his passing in 1974 of ALS. It was very difficult for her when Armand got sick, she cared for him at home for 3 years until his passing. Darlene married Ted Beaudin in 1978 in Moose Jaw. Ted passed away in 2001.
Darlene was a very hard worker and always provided for her family. Her first job was cleaning houses in Moose Jaw. She then went to work at CanaDay’s as a seamstress after Armand passed away. She also went back to school to obtain her Grade 10 and carried on to working at Safeway for 20 years until she retired. After retirement, Darlene spent time doing demo’s at Sobey’s until she finally retired in 2013.
Darlene loved being a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, starting in 1998 and was still a member when she passed. She was a Provincial President for one year and was the President of the Ladies Auxiliary Club 5 times. She spent many hours donating her time in the kitchen helping the Ladies Auxiliary Club. Darlene loved fundraising for different charities over the years as part of the Eagles club, some of her charities included ALS, Diabetes, Alzheimer Societies just to name a few.
Darlene was a master of knitting, crocheting, and quilting. People knew her for her hand towels, dish cloths, blankets and quilts. She loved playing cards and was one of her favourite pastimes with family and friends.
Our Mom, Grandma and Nana Darlene will always hold such a special place in our hearts. She was a kind, loving, non-judgmental, selfless, generous person. Her family will miss her dearly, but she will be with the angels in heaven and with her husband Armand once again.
