Darlene Ann Milliron

Darlene Ann Milliron, 79, of Punxsutawney, passed away unexpectedly at home on February 3, 2026.

She was born in Punxsutawney on February 16, 1946, a daughter of the late Daniel Johnson and Ruth Sally (Brown) Johnson.

On August 23, 1963, she married Dallas Shields Milliron Jr.  They were inseparable for sixty-two years and endured the ups and downs of life together.

Darlene worked at the Punxsutawney Country Club for several years; she cooked and managed the kitchen.  She was a hard worker and was very proud of the job well done, she enjoyed her co-workers, and the members and guests of the club.

She was a great mother whose love showed in everything she did for her family.  With a warm sense of humor and a kind, gentle heart, she had a way of making everyone feel loved and understood. She loved to crochet, especially for her family. Whether she was sharing a joke, offering a helping hand, or quietly doing what needed done, she was the steady strength and loving soul that held her family together.
