Burlington, VT - Daren Lee (Drury) McLay, 83, of South Burlington, Vermont passed away peacefully on May 14, 2022 with her husband by her side. She endured a year-long cardio-pulmonary decline. Daren was born on October 4, 1938 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the daughter of Ernest and Wylanta (Honeycomb) Drury. Her mother was going to name her Karen and then decided to be different - Daren Drury would have a subtle impact on all she knew. She grew up in New Richmond, WI, where her father was a family doctor. Daren earned a degree in Medical Technology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. There she met her husband on a blind date her freshman year. She was 17. They married in 1960, and she worked to put him through engineering graduate school. The next 61 1/2 years would see them move from coast to coast.
Family in Janesville is still very important to Daren's memory. A memorial will be held later this year in Janesville with her ashes and a stone being placed in Oakhill Cemetery.
