Darlene Faye Pinski

Darlene F. Pinski, age 79, of Wauseon, Ohio peacefully passed away on January 30, 2023, in her home surrounded by her loving family. She married the love of her life, Clem Pinski, at the age of only 16 and together they raised 3 children. Darlene was fiercely devoted to her family, shaping her life through the years around her husband, children, grandchildren, and most recently her great-grandchildren. She was in her words a domestic goddess, and in her familys words, simply the best.. Darlene accepted and loved everyone as if they were her own, and her heart and home were always open if needed. Her caring, kind, and loving traits were not complete however without her sassy and wild side. She could tell a dirty joke like no ones business, embarrass all of her children in one fell swoop, and dance on a table to get the party started when required. Darlene was her own person, a person who lit up every room she walked into, a person her family is going to miss beyond words.Darlene was preceded in death by her parents, Martha and Leonard Ratz and Jewell Vance; son, Mark Pinski; son-in-law, Alan Shank; and daughter-in-law, Carrie Peart-Pinski.
