She professed her faith in God at an early age, and for years, was an usher at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church where she was a member. She was employed at YWCA Women’s Shelter. As a child, she sang in the choir at New Hope Baptist Church. Darnell was a fun-loving, free spirit. She enjoyed cooking and her favorite dish was sweet potato pie.
She is survived by her son, Richard Eldridge; grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews and cousins; and caregivers, Viola and Clinton.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to Hamilton Pointe, Alexander Funeral Home and all our friends for all the prayers, love, and comforting words. Thank you, and may the Lord be with you.
