May 20, 1942 – September 29, 2019
Darlene M. Gillis, 77, lost her long, brave battle with Multiple Myeloma comfortably at her home in Cicero on September 29, 2019.
Darlene was a strong, independent woman. She worked for Guide Lamp in Anderson and Monroe, La., becoming a general foreman at a time when most were men. She enjoyed her flower garden, home renovating and decorating, and was a keen organizer.
She is survived by her son, David (Lisa) Yancey; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, a nephew, and her sweet “boy,” her dog Scotty.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Louise (Sally) and Arthur Leisure; and brother, Ray Abshire, all of Laurel, Md.; son, Bryan Yancey, Muncie; as well as her beloved “girls” dogs, Samantha and Zoe.
A casual Celebration of Life will be held from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, October 4 at Just Pop In, 6406 Cornell Ave., Broad Ripple Village.
Arrangements entrusted to A.R.N. Funeral & Cremation Services. Friends may leave a memory or message of condolence by visiting the online obituary at arnmortuary.com.
