Darlene Hatheway Obituary

She married Harlen Ned Hatheway in 1949 and to this union five children were born. She and Ned lived in the Okaton-Murdo area all of their lives. They both enjoyed and worked in farming and trucking business. After Ned’s death, she continued to farm and was very successful at doing so for 20 plus years. Darlene was a hard working woman and loved her family. The family gatherings blessed her and gave her great joy.
