Darlene and her husband, Walter, were married for over 40 years. They worked alongside each other for the past 12 years as hosts at the WalMart in Greeley. She enjoyed roses and loved all animals. She had an especially soft heart for her pugs, and rescued their pug Lilly from a puppy mill. However, Darlene’s greatest joy was her family, who will miss her dearly.
Darlene is survived by her husband, Walter Reeder; son, Gerold Bentley; grandchildren, Brittany, Christian, Cheri, and Nicole; great-grandchildren, Preston and Kyler; brother, Marvin Dieterle; and one sister, Linda Shelton.
She was preceded in death by her two daughters; Margarette Brown and Cathy Martinez; one brother, Riley Dieterle; and her parents, Henry and Katie Dieterle.
A Celebration of Darlene’s Life will be held at a later date.
