Daily Inter Lake | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 15 years, 10 months AGO
Death came to Elna Darrow, 65, as she passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009. By her desire and the wishes of her family, she was cremated. Her ashes will be scattered in a private family ceremony on Red Tail Ridge that overlooks the family farm home, Paladin Farms, where George and Elna lived for 32 years.
The title of a work of art in their home expressed the pact between Elna and her husband George, "If I could live forever and you would be with me ... I'd choose a house for all seasons in mountain greenery."
She is survived by her husband, George; and stepchildren, Roy and Jeanne Darrow, Reed and Cathie Darrow, John Darrow and Rose, and Karen Darrow; along with seven wonderful grandchildren; her nephew, Todd Bezenek; and various cousins.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Ethel Eshom; and her sister, Virginia Eshom-Bezenek.
The family of Elna Darrow wishes to acknowledge and express our appreciation for the many notes of sympathy and condolences together with offers to be helpful in any way needed. Bigfork and the Flathead Valley are an exceptionally supportive community.
A celebration of life for Elna by her family and friends is being planned for early summer to follow subsequent to the scattering of her ashes.
