Chase of Rochdale; daughter Kimberly Patterson and son-in-law Michael Patterson of Dudley, daughter Angela Fongeallaz LeBel of King George, VA; seven grandchildren, Beau and Macy Fongeallaz, Kailey and Noel LeBel, Max, Aden and Mark Patterson. She leaves behind her loving mother Dolores A. (Palmieri) Cote of Cherry Valley; brother Edward F.

She has been reunited with her father Edward F. Cote, Sr, and many beloved aunts and uncles in heaven.
Darlene spent her last fifteen years as a devoted and loving housewife. She created a loving home, welcome to all. She was often found caring for her seven grandchildren. Before that she worked as a legal secretary in Webster. She spent a short time as a bank teller and before that helped run her uncle’s video store, “One Stop Video” in Oxford. Darlene will always be remembered for her cheerful personality, her ability to talk to all people around her, and to make everyone feel like family!
Darlene lived for her family. She loved her husband, daughters, son-in-law, and her grandchildren more than words could describe. In true Italian form, her home was open to everyone. Cooking and preparing food was a passion of hers, making everything “with love”.
