Darlene Sarah Plain was born in Lake City, Iowa on February 10, 1934, to Thomas and Clara (Bushman) Neagle. She grew up in Nemaha, Iowa, where she received her education. Darlene had many fond memories and stories of growing up with her eight siblings in Nemaha.

While caring and raising her family, Darlene worked as a silk screen operator at Electrolux and did some house cleaning. Darlene liked playing bingo, cards, casino games and enjoying a good cup of coffee with her friends. Most of all, Darlene treasured time spent with her four children, and watching their families grow to a beautiful legacy of 12 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandson who all held a special place in her heart.
Darlene will be deeply missed by her children, Debra West of Kamrar, Daryl "Buck" Plain of Webster City, Darla Heller of Story City, and Dennis (Brenda) Plain of Fort Dodge; 12 grandchildren, Darren, Dustin, Devin, Burke, Jerred, Chris, Nathan, Maisie, Sarah, Kari, Misty, and Nicole; 18 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson.
