It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Darlene Nan Staub, who passed away on August 3, 2025, at her home in Glenville, PA, at the age of 78.

Born on April 6, 1947, Darlene was the unwavering heart of our family. She was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose life was defined by selfless love and tireless support for those she held dear. Her strong and comforting presence, along with her endless encouragement and generosity, touched so many lives. She gave all she had to those she loved.

Darlene is survived by her loving children, David Staub and Rebecca Oaster; her siblings, Maureen Myers, Gene Kopp and Steven Kopp; six grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Marie Kopp; her beloved husband, John R. Staub, her sister, Delores Woodward and her loving companion of 20 years, James Sneeringer, who played a significant role in the lives of her family.

A visitation to celebrate Darlene's life and share cherished memories will be held Thursday,  September 11, 2025, from 3 to 5 PM and 7 to 9PM at at Wetzel Funeral Home, 549 Carlisle Street, Hanover, PA. 17331. We encourage all friends and family to attend and remember the joy and love she brought to so many. A private burial ceremony for immediate family will follow at Rest Haven Cemetery.

As Darlene would want us to remember, her love and presence will always be with us:

I sent you a little white feather

I placed it right there in your way

I wrapped it in love with a message

to let you know you'll be okay

I drew you a colourful rainbow

It followed your car for a while

I made a spectacular rainbow

I hoped it would show me your smile

I flew down a beautiful robin

It landed right there on your ledge

I prayed he would give you the strength

to push yourself back from the edge

I try every day to remind you

that I never did go away

The feathers, the rainbows, the robins

are my way of trying to stay.
