Darlene Haddox was born on Monday, November 28, 1960 in Yale, OK, the daughter of Louis and Helen Maxine (Vinyard) Sanders. She grew up with ten brothers and eight sisters, graduating from Jones High School. She worked as a cook in the Dietary department at Wolfe Living Center in Harrah, OK, a job she enjoyed. She was the proud mother of Elizabeth Sue Sanders and the even more delighted grandmother to her four grandchildren, Helen, Micheal, Donald and Matthew. In 2005, she married Tony Haddox in Oklahoma City. When she wasn’t working, she was home enjoying a little time crocheting, reading a good book, or collecting cookbooks and salt and pepper shakers. A trip to her house meant wonderful baked pies, cakes and fried bologna sandwiches. She loved to garden and grew wonderful peppers and tomatoes to share with her family and friends. Darlene loved to go out to her flower garden and chase the canine companions Chico, Sissy, and the two Chihuahuas. There was nothing like a little coloring project or game on her phone, and of course crossword puzzles and word search. She was constantly in search of a bargain at the thrift store, yard sales and Walmart. Darlene wanted everyone around her to be happy, and went out of her way to make you happy. She was caring and understanding, and generous to her family and friends. Her laughter was infectious, and you couldn’t help but laugh at her when she was in her humorous mood. She passed from this life on Monday, July 1st, 2019 in Midwest City with her loved ones by her side. She was 58 years old. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is preceded in death by her father, mother, brothers Jesse Sanders, Mose Sanders, Leroy Staller, John Sanders, Rex Sanders, Phillip Sanders, Joe Louis Sanders, Richard Sanders and sisters Anna Lou Glass, Josephine Sanders, Judy Sanders, Donna Kay Sanders, and Dianna Sanders.

She is survived by her husband Tony Haddox, daughter Elizabeth Sue Sanders of Midwest City, OK, brothers Billy Wayne Sanders and wife Becky of Hindsville, AR, Johnson Sanders of Kansas, OK, sisters Mary Jane Wyly and husband Alfred of Kansas, OK, Lucille Morgan and husband Dennis of Choctaw, OK, and Lucinda Sanders of Wewoka, OK. She lives on in her grandchildren, Helen Lucinda Sanders of Del City, OK, Micheal Louis Sanders of Midwest City, OK, Donald Ray Disney III of Midwest, OK, and Matthew Joe Disney of Midwest City, OK. Her great-grandchildren include Jacorian Sanders of Del City and Princeton Sanders of Del City as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of friends and loved ones.
