It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our sweet mother, grandmother, nana, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Darlyne passed away on August 21, 2023 with her family by her side. She was born in Bountiful on February 17, 1947 to Darwin S. and Beth Hayes. She had three siblings: Brent, Terry, and Pam.
Darlyne grew up in Bountiful where she attended Bountiful Elementary, Bountiful Junior High, and Bountiful High School. She lived in Davis County her whole life and had very fond memories of that! Darlyne married Robert S. Lawson on April 30, 1964. They enjoyed wonderful memories together—including spending time at Wally’s Burger Bar, Pace’s Dairy Ann, Bountiful Drive-In, and the swimming pool at Lagoon!
Together, they had three beautiful sons: Troy, Arrin, and Baric. All Darlyne ever wanted was to be a mom and grandma! She loved her family very much and enjoyed spending time with them the most!
Darlyne had a very contagious laugh and a fun sense of humor that endeared everyone to her and made you feel so comfortable when you were around her. She loved flowers, gardening, reading, crocheting, Legos, decorating her house for Christmas, and playing games.
She was a member of the “Red Hat Society” for over 30 years and enjoyed the deep associations and treasured memories with Karla R., Karla S., Carrie, Sherri, and Pam.
Darlyne loved and appreciated all the dear friends in her life, especially those that helped take such good care of her during the last several months. She loved life and always had a positive attitude—regardless of her circumstances.
She is survived by her children: Troy, Arrin (Sharisse), and Baric (Andy); her grandchildren: Chris, Josh, Justin, Devin, Alyssa, Dalton, Shalee, Megan, Dustin, Ryder, and Sophie; and 10 (plus one on the way) great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Pam; sister-in-law, Laurie; mother-in-law, Betty Lou; sisters-in law, Katy and Denny; and brother-in-law, Chuck.
Darlyne was preceded in death by her husband of almost 58 years, Robin; her parents, Darwin and Beth; brothers: Brent and Terry; father-in-law, Robert S. Lawson; sister-in-law, Lisa Goode; brothers-in-law: Denny Edwards and Norman Bennett; and niece, Marcy Hayes.
The family would like to thank Tracie Morrison for her friendship and loving care after Robin’s passing, the Relief Society for their loving service, as well as Lyla for the loving care and comfort she provided for Darlyne these last few months.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 2 PM. at Lindquist Mortuary, 727 N. 400 E. in Bountiful. A viewing will be held prior to the services from 12:30 to 1:30 PM. Interment will be in the Lakeview Cemetery in Bountiful, UT.
