With profound sadness we announce the passing of Darlene Lynn Isenhart, our loving and devoted wife, mother and friend to all whose lives she touched.

She left us peacefully at her residence in Cedarville, WV on September 9, 2021.  She was in her 65^th year.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Dottie Williamson; aunt, Marlene Hunter; and grandmother, Faye Workman.

She enjoyed her life and wanted to thank some of those who made that possible.  Topping the list is family and close survivors, the most important, her husband, Roy, her knight in shining armor.
