She attended Pacelli High School and was crowned Homecoming Queen in 1958 and never relinquished the crown to her sisters. After graduation from high school, she entered the Order of Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi. She obtained a degree in education. She departed the convent in 1975 and continued teaching 4th grade. She retired from teaching at the age of 65. She later relocated to the Salt Lake City area where she met Marvin. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple October 26, 1976.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Marvin Curtis

Darlene was devoted to her family, to her faith and to the many students she was privileged to have taught. She loved to travel and she considered herself a genealogy scholar. She spent endless hours locating branches in her family tree. She was a dedicated participant in the YaYa Sisterhood and eagerly anticipated their semiannual escapades. To know her was to love her. When we all meet again, we will anticipate the aroma and the taste of your one and only orange rolls, Darling Darlene.
