1930 - 2024
Darlyne Ann (Manning) Hindahl, 94, of McLeansboro, IL. passed away peacefully on November 10, 2024, at Fox Meadows Supportive Living in McLeansboro, IL.
Darlyne was born to James and Dorothy Manning in Leavenworth, Kansas on May 9, 1930. She was the oldest of three siblings, all deceased. Her family had an interesting life of many military moves every few years. Darlyne graduated high school in Kyoto, Japan as her father was a part of the occupational forces after the war.
High school sweethearts, Darlyne and Bill married on May 24, 1952 at the post chapel in West Point, New York. Their marriage was blessed with 63 wonderful years. Bill passed nine years ago and Darlyne missed him every one of those days.
Darlyne is survived by two daughters, Cathy Webb (Melvin) and Pat Connaway (Larry). Her cherished grandchildren are David Webb (Stacy), Dana Britton (Matt), Natalie Carlson (Cody) and her deceased granddaughter Emily York. Great grandchildren are Dalton Miller, Dacey and Andrew Webb, Trinity and Haley Britton, Eli and Benjamin Carlson and Madeline, Hannah and Jonathan York. Also surviving are two nieces and two nephews.
Our Lord was an important part of Darlyne’s life and she was a faithful member of the Lutheran Church.
Darlyne and Bill enjoyed traveling. Darlyne had a passion for reading, playing bridge and pinochle. She bowled on a women’s league, boated at Rend Lake and did love to shop! A source of real happiness was the idyllic life with the McLeansboro neighbors Darlyne treasured always.
Defined as strong, Darlyne was a three-time cancer survivor. If asked how she was feeling, an “I’m fine” reply could always be counted on.
There will be a graveside service at Odd Fellows Cemetery in McLeansboro on Saturday, November 16, 2024 at 2:00 P.M.
In lieu of flowers please give a memorial in Darlyne’s memory to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Foundation. Memorials will be accepted at Harre Funeral Home which is in charge of arrangements.
