Darlene Pryde Penton, 86, passed away on February 16, 2023. She was surrounded by her family.
Darlene was born to William Pryde and Elsie Snow on January 24, 1937 in Rock Springs, WY. She was preceded in death by her half-brother Bill Sours and half-sisters Mary Clark and Hannah Snow. Her mother passed away when Darlene was 3 years old, and Darlene was raised in part by her half-sister Hannah and grandmother Anna Snow. She spent her early years living in Bondurant, WY before moving to Pinedale.
She married Sid Roberts in 1953 with whom she has two sons, Jack and Shane. They later divorced in 1967, and she married Bob Penton in 1968. The two were married 55 years until she departed. Darlene left behind 6 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.
Dalene was known as a tenacious worker but also for her generous and light-hearted character. She worked at Faler’s for a number of years. She also managed the VFW in Pinedale, until she was 83, where she was much loved by locals and visitors alike.
Darlene didn’t know a stranger, and treated all those she knew like family. As such, she had many friends with whom she enjoyed traveling and bowling.
By her family, she will be remembered as a beloved matriarch who sacrificed for all those she loved. She will be greatly missed.
Graveside services will be held June 23, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at the Pinedale cemetery, followed by a luncheon at 12:00 at the VFW in Pinedale.
