Darlene was a woman of family and faith. Darlene emanated with compassion, grace, and light. Darlene spread hope, joy, laughter, and smiles wherever she went. To make sure that her loved ones were well and/or didn’t need help, she would show up unannounced and say “I was in the neighborhood” no matter the distance. There was no limit to her love and devotion to family. The term “angel on earth” truly embodies Darlene.
Darlene is survived by her three children; Nicole Sue Lynch, Suzanne Lee Kelly, and Nicholas Brett Lynch as well as her 7 surviving siblings; David Bellant, Dan Bellant, Karen Couch, Valerie Anderson, and George Bellant, Donna Kennedy, and Theresa Seward. Darlene is a proud grandmother to three; Joshua Kelly (Mr. JAK), Kinsley, and Olivia Lynch. She is preceded in death by her mother and father (June and LeRoy Bellant) sister (Arbutus Bare) and husband (William Timothy Lynch).
A private service will be held Sunday, May 1st, 2022 at Manasota Memorial Park and Funeral Home with burial immediately to follow.
