Your help could be used with memories and stories. Darline was a humble and modest person and didn’t share her life story with ease. Her multifaceted life was amazing for anyone, but a single child born in Pawhuska Oklahoma. WOW you came a long way Baby! I know many of you have had conversations with her about trips, hobbies, interests, reading/authors, accreditations, accomplishments, organization she helped and belonged to, etc. in her life. If you would email me anything you remember that would add to putting together her life story for the record I would appreciate it. No one person knew everything about Darline, I want to combine all these things and share them with everyone. Nothing is too small or insignificant, I know a lot, but I am learning things, so tell me anything you know.
Did you know Darline held a pilot’s license and was a member of The Ninety-Nines Organization of Women Pilots, or that she sang in a Barber Shop Quartet? I am sure there are more stories/information like this. Please plan to share these things on Friday and with me for the record.
The obituary is planned to run on Wed. 1/20, so I need to get it in on Monday, if you think of anything after Monday or have photos please send them to me and Steve up until Thursday late afternoon.
