Our family lost our dear mother on Easter Sunday. Darlene Mae Haggerty Leach, age 82, of Newark, DE, passed away peacefully on March 31, 2013, with her family at her side.
Darlene was a kind and loving person who cared for her children and grandchildren above all else. In life, she was known for a doing a million little, thoughtful things for her family. She loved company, television, and football. Darlene was a great listener and counselor to her family and her many friends. Truly a special person has departed from us and will be great missed.

She was also blessed with seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, William Russell Haggerty, Sr. and Evelyn Layman Haggerty, and her brother, William Russell Haggerty, Jr.
