Darlene Yvonne Cronjager passed away on September 18, 2014, at her home in Lake Havasu City, AZ. She was born July 7, 1933, in Detroit, MI, to Walter and Gladys Feistel. She moved to California in 1941. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Her husband of 42 years, William H. Cronjager, preceded her in death.

Darlene began her 20 year professional career as a Realtor with Century 21 and Prudential in California. After moving to Lake Havasu City, in 1999, Darlene continued her career with Above All, Selman & Associates, and Keller Williams. Darlene enjoyed years of fun and frolic on the River with her husband Bill and their three children. Darlene loved gathering with friends and family for a good meal, and boating and water skiing on the River. She was an enthusiastic sports fan who was always cheering for the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, and Phoenix Suns.

Darlene is survived by her sister, Millicent Dangler of Vancouver, WA, her brother, Walter Feistel of Irvine, CA, her three children, Carol Cronjager and Elaine (Charles) VanderBoom, both of Lake Havasu City, and Robert (Denise) Cronjager of Simi Valley, CA.
