Darlene Patton

February 26, 1946 - November 7, 2017

Darlene Patton passed away peacefully on November 7, 2017 in Wills Point, Texas. She was born Feb. 26, 1946 in Henderson, Texas to John Melton Harrison, Sr, and Leona (Arrington) Harrison, both of whom met her in Heaven along with her beloved son, Robert Patton who passed in 2015 and her siblings: John Harrison, Jr. and Karen Shaw. Darlene grew up in the Amarillo area and then moved to California for most of her life. She worked as a hospital dietician and enjoyed reading and shopping. Her cheerful personality made her the person who could single-handedly light up a room where her smile could make any gathering more fun for everyone. She had a wonderful sense of humor and her ability to put everyone in an informal, conversational mode enabled her to be a confidante to folks who needed a friend to just listen and be supportive. She was a devoted mother, sister, aunt and beloved friend and Darlene will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing her. She leaves to cherish her memory her brothers: Billy and Eddie Harrison, both of Ft. Worth, sisters: Gereldene Dodson of Rockwall and Beverly Jewett of Chandler, Tx as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family and a host of friends. Graveside service will be at 11:30am, Thursday, November 9, 2017 at Elmo Cemetery under the direction of Max Slayton Funerals and Cremations.
