Darlene B. Hanna was born at the Beadle House in Hancock County, southeast of Forest City, Iowa on September 1, 1933, the daughter of Osmund and Bessie (Olson) Torkelson.

On October 15, 1952, she was united in marriage to Marvin Hanna at the Beadle House. Darlene helped Marvin on the farm and raised her children. She worked at the Good Samaritan Center in Forest City for over 20 years. In 1962, at the age of 29, she accepted Christ as her personal savior.
Darlene loved to garden and was a talented seamstress ~ she enjoyed quilting and could patch-up blue jeans like new. She and Marvin liked to share fresh donuts with their neighbors.
Darlene wanted her whole family in Heaven with her. She was the family "prayer warrior" - always caring more for others than herself.
