Darlene Ellen Kellison, nee Mauller, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away at home on July 28, 2025, at the age of 90. Born in St. Louis, MO, on August 17, 1934, Darlene lived a life full of love, laughter, and an unwavering devotion to her family.

After graduating from Central High School in 1952 and attending Central Methodist College, Darlene married and raised four daughters. Her deep sense of care extended to her mother, whom she lovingly cared for. She found a home away from home in Titusville, Florida, for 20 years, where she was a cherished member of Surfside Community Church. Upon returning to St. Louis, Darlene spent nearly 14 joyful years at Gambrill Gardens, making many friends along the way. Darlene’s greatest gift was her ability to connect with people; she truly never met a stranger. Her vibrant spirit and contagious laughter brought light to all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Darlene was preceded in death by her parents, her daughter Diane, two grandsons, and her brothers G.A., Leroy, Ralph, Harold, and Bill.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her daughters Cindy, Janet, and Lori; her seven grandchildren; and twenty-one great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind many cherished nieces and nephews.

Services will be held on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 10:30 am at Pathfinder Church, 15800 Manchester Rd.
