A Celebration of Darlene's Life will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at the Gowrie Community Civic Center, 1206 Market Street in Gowrie, Iowa. Darlene will be laid to rest with her husband and family at the Storm Lake Cemetery during a private family burial.
Darlene Sarah Plain was born in Lake City, Iowa on February 10, 1934, to Thomas and Clara (Bushman) Neagle. She grew up in Nemaha, Iowa, where she received her education. Darlene had many fond memories and stories of growing up with her eight siblings in Nemaha. Following graduation, Darlene was united in marriage to Daryl Dwight Edward Plain on August 21, 1953; the couple raised their family in central and northwest Iowa while they were blessed with four children, Debra, Daryl "Buck," Darla, and Dennis.
While caring and raising her family, Darlene worked as a silk screen operator at Electrolux and did some house cleaning. Darlene liked playing bingo, cards, casino games and enjoying a good cup of coffee with her friends. Most of all, Darlene treasured time spent with her four children, and watching their families grow to a beautiful legacy of 12 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandson who all held a special place in her heart.
Darlene will be deeply missed by her children, Debra West of Kamrar, Daryl "Buck" Plain of Webster City, Darla Heller of Story City, and Dennis (Brenda) Plain of Fort Dodge; 12 grandchildren, Darren, Dustin, Devin, Burke, Jerred, Chris, Nathan, Maisie, Sarah, Kari, Misty, and Nicole; 18 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson. She is also survived by two sisters, Lu Mittelstadt and Mildred Morrow.
Darlene was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 53 years, Daryl who passed in 2007; son-in-law, Jeff West; and siblings, Melvin Neagle, Clara Ruth Patrick, Richard Neagle, Tommy Neagle, Mary Watts and Clayton Neagle.
Condolences and memories of Darlene may be shared with her family on her tribute page.
