Darlene Erma Veverka Gaudineer McBride, 93, passed away on Tuesday, February 18, 2022 at her home surrounded by her family. She was born December 20, 1928 to Lewis and Wanda (Grandstaff) Ververka in Grinnell, Iowa.

Darlene grew up in Grinnell, Iowa and graduated from Roosevelt High School in Des Moines. She was a long-time member of Highland Park Presbyterian Church.

Darlene was a strong woman who had a zest for life. She gave of herself to others over and over again, never asking for anything in return. Her family and friends were most important to her and she cherished all the memories from over the years.
