Darlene was the start of my art career as her student in my sophomore (1955) year at Williston High School. Becoming a farm and ranch wife In rural Williston in 1960 we connected many times one of which I judged her artwork at the Farm Festival in Tioga. I got to visit her in her home about a year and a half ago where we had lunch and shared out pasts. Darlene was a beautiful person inside and out. I will miss her being in my life. My prayers are with her family.

Darlene and her art classes remain high on my list of cherished memories. During my very awkward years of junior high I finally found something I was good at and loved to do and kept taking more classes. She encouraged me and eventually I found a career in the field of design. She was always great at keeping calm even with so many rambunctious kids - I’m not sure how she put up with us all :)

I had her for art class in 1973 and 1974. She was absolutely the best teacher.. I didn't think I could draw. But she taught me otherwise. She was definitely the best at everything. We will absolutely miss her..luv her

Michele, Roberta and Joel, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I have many fun memories spending time with your family while growing up next door. She was a very intelligent and talented lady! She was also very patient, teaching many of us kids how to ride and care for horses. Cherish the memories as they wil help you get through this difficult time. My sympathies to you and your families. Love and hugs, Nancy Iverson Connelly

I am so sorry for the loss of this great lady. I had the honor of knowing her through my girls in her class. She was not a teacher, she was a lady, a friend, an inspiration. She never without a greeting, smile, and kind word. I admired her in every way possible, and wished I could be just even a little bit like her, so graceful, so elegant, and so unaware of her beauty and charm that matched her talent. God be with you all.

Roberta and family: I am so awfully sorry to hear that your wonderful mother has passed away. Whenever I saw her I would give her a big hug. She is in Heaven with my Mom and I bet she is drawing pictures of the Angels. Again I am so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss. Darlene was a wonderful neighbor; having Birthday Parties for all the May birthdays in the neighborhood, visiting over the fence and in her house. She watered my flowers when I was too sick to do it this past year and made sure my garbage was put out. I am so sorry I won’t be able to be at Darlene’s funeral. My sympathy to all of you!

Darlene Mowdy was the epitome of class. She always had such a calm demeanor in my dealing with her. She encouraged me even though I could barely draw a picture of my name! She was always glad to see me whenever I would run into her during my increasingly more seldom trips home to Tioga. I have always believed that as amazing a teacher as she was, she was a even a better person. As many have said, she was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be missed by her family, her friends and her community.

To the Mowdy kids— these final good byes are so hard and my heart is with you. Darlene touched countless lives just being who she was. What a talent as a teacher, an artist and so generous with her time and talent! I’m so thankful for your moms’s friendship to my mom. I think they had so much fun together!
