It is with great sadness that the family of Darlene Rogers (Crantz) announces her passing.
Darlene passed away after a very short battle with cancer in Vancouver General Hospital on August 13 2018.

Granddaughters- Amanda and Jessica and adopted grandson Ronan and great granddaughter Emberly. as well as Mother Mary Crantz, Siblings- Steven (Helen), Louise (Jason),Rosemarie (Dale),Sharon (Gerald),Allen (June)and Alvina (Mickey) and numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
Born July 14 1958 in Dawson Creek BC to Knut and Mary Crantz, she was raised in Tower Lake and had many friends.
Darlene Loved all of her family. They were her world. She was always looking forward to the next family function. She enjoyed spending time with her sister Sharon, niece Kayla and great niece Zoey making ravioli, perogies and canning fruits and vegetables.
She loved having excuses to go on sleepovers at her Daughter Melissa's house with her grand daughters and great grand daughter.
Darlene was a hardworker and valued employee. Jeanie will tell you she was an excellent "upseller"! She will be missed at Valley spirits by coworkers and customers.
Darlene Loved camping and spent many summers in the outdoors with her children and whatever family or friends were drug along on the adventure! She continued her love for camping when she became a Grandma and spent countless summers at Peace Island Park with Amanda and Jessica. She was looking forward to carrying on that tradition with Emberly and Ronan.
Unfortunately Cancer had another plan.
Darlene will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. She passed away as quietly as she lived, without a complaint.
