Darlene Fae Haugh, 95, of Dennison, passed away peacefully while surrounded by her loving family on Sunday, October 8, 2023, at Hennis Care Centre in Dover. Born December 11, 1927, in Uhrichsville, she was a daughter of the late William and Nellie Mabel (Dallas) Williams.
A 1945 graduate of Gnadenhutten High School, Darlene was a local resident throughout her life and a lifelong member of Uhrichsville Church of the Nazarene. Darlene lived out her faith daily and will be remembered by her church family as a dedicated Sunday School teacher and superintendent, board member, and church secretary. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who leaves behind a family who – even while they miss her deeply – celebrate her going home to be with her Lord and all her loved ones who had gone before.
On December 18, 1945, Darlene married Melvin Paul Haugh with whom she shared 75 years of loving marriage prior to his passing on September 22, 2021. They are survived by 4 children, Kandace (Stephen) Smith, M. Victor (Susan) Haugh, April (Joseph) Berni, and Amy (Roger) Metzger; 9 grandchildren, Eric (Sarah) Smith, Paul Smith, Angie (Kevin) Cooper, Duke (Danielle) Haugh, Kate (Dan) Junge, Tony (Robyn) Berni, Anne (Alain) Marec, Joey (Courtney) Berni, and Kayla Metzger; and 21 great-grandchildren. Darlene is also survived by her brother, Ronald Williams, and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her sister, Mary Anne Huffman, and brother, Dean Williams.
