Darlene Bouch (1943 - 2014)

Darlene Vadella Bouch, 71, of Hummelstown, passed away Tuesday, April 29, 2014, in the Community General Osteopathic Hospital with her family by her side.

Born in Patterson, NJ, on April 2, 1943, she was the daughter of Patrick Vadella of Carbondale and the late Arlene Swegel Vadella.

Darlene was a co-owner, with her husband Jim, of Keystone Artificial Limb & Orthopedics, Harrisburg. She was also previously a secretary for the PA Dept. of Justice, a teller at Fulton Bank, Hummelstown, and a clerk at the Hummelstown 7-11. Darlene was a 1961 graduate of Benjamin Franklin High School, Carbondale. She was an active member of St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church, Hershey, and was on the Council of Catholic Women of St. Joan of Arc. Darlene enjoyed sewing and knitting, and was a member of several sewing clubs including the Hershey Library Quilters Club, Grace Bible Church Quilting Club, and the St. Joan of Arc Prayer Shawl Ministry. Even more than she enjoyed her sewing, Darlene loved spending time with her family; especially her grandchildren.
