Darlene Herweh

Darlene J. Herweh was born November 24, 1935, to Perl and Bertha Hoover. She was the youngest of 11 children. Darlene was born and raised in Mitchellville and always considered it home. She was united in marriage to Jimmie Herweh on May 27, 1954. Darlene was an accomplished bowler, a love she instilled in her grandson Jimmy, and appeared numerous times on the Jim Zabel show “Let’s Go Bowling.” She was also a talented singer and piano player.

Darlene was the bookkeeper for the Mitchellville Coop for over 30 years, and she was also responsible for the start of the Mitchellville Girls Softball Program, so the girls who were Susie’s age would have something to do in the summer.

She is survived by her daughter Susan Tibben; grandson Jimmy and wife Jennifer Tibben; and granddaughter Katelynn Tibben, who she always called her little angel. Her pride and joy were her great-grandsons, Noah, Jonah, Micah, Michael, and Gabriel. Darlene is also survived by her brother Bill Hoover, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, including her very special nephew Donnie Goldsberry, who was always so very dear to her.

Darlene passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 1, 2012. She was preceded in death by her husband Jimmie; brothers Howard, Wayne, Lloyd, Dale, Melvin, and Marvin; and her sisters Gladys, Ruth, and Beverly. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

Visitation will be 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, December 4, 2012, at Hamilton’s Mitchellville Funeral Home. The funeral service will be 12 p.m., Wednesday, December 5, 2012, also at the funeral home. Memorials may be directed to the family.
