Darlene Dorothy McNab (nee Lewis) rejoined the love of her life Ralph McNab in Heaven on June 30, 2024. While her two kids Todd (Julie) and Amy, and her two beloved grandchildren Maddie and Kayla are heartbroken to have her taken so quickly, they are filled with joy that Mom/Grandma is back with Dad/Grandpaw. Darlene was born October 23, 1947, to Thurman and Dorothy Lewis (nee Baumer). She was the youngest of four and the only girl, so she grew up fast and tough with her three brothers Don (Kathy), Dale (Sue), and Jim (Marilyn). Her Dad, Mom, and Don all preceded her in death. From the moment Darlene turned 9 years old, she almost never stopped working, from folding clothes for her Mom's business and reading to the blind as a teen, to serving as a lead bank teller while living in Pensacola, Florida; Abingdon, Virginia; Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff, Missouri; in addition to St Louis. What Darlene loved most was her family, both the human ones and the animal ones. She singlehandedly kept Hallmark in business, never missing a birthday, holiday, or occasion. Even when her body began to fail her and kept her from traveling to the special events she loved, she stayed connected by sharing texts or funny pics via Instagram with Amy, Todd, Julie, Maddie, and Kayla. She also never met a cat or a dog that didn't get a pet and an "oooh, you're so cute!". Darlene's life will be rejoiced at Zion Lutheran Church in Valley Park on Wednesday, July 3 at 1:00 PM. Interment will be in St. Johns Lutheran Cemetery, Ellisville, MO. along side of her loving husband. In lieu of flowers, please celebrate Darlene by donating to Legacy Animal Sanctuary (https://www.legacyanimalsanctuary.org/get-involved) in Dittmer, MO. We love you. ❤️
