Darlene E. Fowler
FAIRFIELD: Darlene E. Fowler, age 78, passed away on Thursday, June 22nd, 2023 at the McClure Miller Respite House in Colchester.
She was born in Colchester on January 13, 1945, the daughter of the late Arnold and Esther (Cross) Jewett.
Darlene attended Georgia Elementary School and graduated from Franklin High School. Darlene married the father of her children, Richard Greenwood, in 1963. Darlene was a member of the American Legion Post 42 and Ladies Auxiliary and the Northside Baptist Church. Darlene’s most enjoyable hobby was gardening in her perennial flower gardens.
In 1977, she married Thomas Fowler who now predeceases her. Darlene and Tom enjoyed going to Oxen Pulling contests with their three oxen teams.
Darlene’s priority and greatest pride were always that of her family, her sons, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. Her oldest son Mike, whom she loved and admired for his wisdom, strength, and unfailing love and support. Her younger son, Mark, whom she also loved dearly for his devotion and unconditional love and for always being there for her; also their mutual love of gardening. Donna, who was more like a daughter than a daughter-in-law, and a best friend, was always giving solid advice when needed. Alyssa was Darlene’s pride and joy, a bond so strong between them from the beginning and continually grew, they confided in each other in every aspect of their lives.
She is survived by her son, Michael Greenwood and his wife Donna; granddaughter, Alyssa Greenwood; brothers, Richard Jewett and his wife Beverly, and James Jewett and his wife Nancy; and several nieces and nephews.
Darlene was predeceased by her parents, her son, Mark Greenwood, and her husband, Thomas Fowler.
Friends and family are invited to Darlene’s Life Celebration to include a memorial service on Thursday, June 29th, 2023, at 11 am at the Goss-Spears Life Celebration Home, 96 Dickinson Ave., Enosburg Falls, VT 05450.
