Darlene Ann Wolford Bline

Darlene Ann Wolford Bline died April 14, 2011, in Wasilla from complications of dementia.

Darlene lived a full life that was marked by college and working, but was hallmarked by raising her children and being a housewife. She was an excellent cook and will be well remembered for her cinnamon rolls and homemade bread.

Darlene also served as a member of the board of directors of Hope Community Resources for many years, inspired by her dedication to her son, Greg, who experiences autism.

Preceding her in death was her husband, Wilbur Eugene Bline, DDS.

Surviving are her son, George Bline (Diana) of Wasilla; daughter, Glori Strickler (Roger) of Big Lake; daughter, Carol Bline of Ohio; and son, Greg Bline of Wasilla. She also leaves four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

A memorial service is at 11 a.m., April 20 at the Palmer Seventh-day Adventist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made in honor of Darlene to Hope Community Resources in Wasilla.

Arrangements were with Legacy Funeral Homes and Cremation Services, Kehl’s Palmer Chapel.
