Eva “Darlene” Drummond, 89, of Grand Blanc, Michigan, returned to God’s loving arms on Friday, August 14th, 2026.

Darlene was born October 2nd, 1936, the daughter of Milo Leon and Eva Marie (Smith) Morgan, in Brock, Missouri, on their centennial family farm.

Darlene attended school in Memphis, Missouri and belonged to the 4-H club. She attended charm school and was top in her county.

Darlene was a devout Christian, who cherished Jesus, her bible, and studying the word of God.

Her Christian values were in every part of her life and molded her into the beloved person she was.

Darlene leaves behind two daughters: Kristina Wood and Kerri (Marty) Jackson, her grandchildren, Ashley Whitaker, Amanda Jackson, and Christopher Gartman; her great-grandchildren; Elisha and Dallas Whitaker, who will all miss her immensely.
