Darlene Anna Elliott
March 23, 1941 - April 19, 2018

Darlene was born on March 23, 1941, to Oscar and Anna (Popp) Meitner in Osage, Iowa. After graduating from Osage High School, she married Mel Elliott on July 2, 1960. Soon thereafter, they started their family and were blessed with two sons, Steve and Jerome. At that time, Mel and Darlene began farming in Osage, Iowa, where they resided for seven years. At that point, they moved to Storm Lake, Iowa, and Mel began selling policies for State Farm Insurance and Darlene worked at Production Credit Association. After one year, however, she started working with her husband in the State Farm office. They worked side by side in his office until Mel retired in 1997. Then, they began spending winters in Mesa, Arizona. In fact, they enjoyed Arizona so much they, eventually, moved there permanently. During this time, Darlene began doing pottery, golfing with her husband, and making friends wherever she went.

Very family oriented and a wonderful mother to her two sons, Darlene loved to cook, spend time with her extended family, and golf. In addition, she enjoyed genealogy, spending many hours doing research into her family history and documenting this research for future generations. She created scrapbooks for each of her grandchildren, documenting her time with them as they grew up.

Darlene is survived by her sons, Steve (Lori) and Jerome (Liete) Elliott; her grandchildren: Kyle, Thomas, Sarah, and Ryan Elliott; her sister, Marcella Voight; her brothers, Gerald (Charlotte) and Leo (Lorraine) Meitner. She was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar and Anna Meitner; her husband, Mel, on January 31, 2018; and her brother-in-law, Jim Voight.
