She married Gene Weber on Oct. 21, 1961, in Burley. Together, they had three children, Terry, Roxie and DeVon. Darlene worked a short time for the United States Soil Conservation. She was then privileged to be a stay-at-home mom and was able to work side-by-side with her husband on their farm. For the past 20 years, she and Gene owned and operated Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning. This venture produced lifelong friends as they assisted the community with window coverings for their homes, churches, and businesses.
