Publish in a newspaper
Darlene was a proud member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. From a young age, she loved horseback riding and developed a deep connection to the outdoors. Whether she was picking blueberries, snowshoeing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, spending time at the beach, or simply taking a walk with family and friends, she was always in motion, finding joy in nature and the people around her.
Darlene is survived by her two daughters, Samantha Gugin and Kasandra Gugin; two sons, Trever Gugin and Jonathon Gugin; granddaughter, Kaylee Gugin; four grandsons, Kaiden Gugin, Leroy Gugin, Landyn Gugin and Lynx Gugin; father, Stanley Gugin; brothers, Stanley Gugin, Terry Gugin and Jake Gallagher; her bud bud, Erica Lipnitz; and of course her bar crowd.
Darlene was preceded in death by her mother, Sandra Gugin; and her brother, Joseph Gugin.
Darlene's Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Darlene's home, 281 Bertrand Street St. Ignace, MI 49781.
Family Life Funeral Homes St. Ignace assisted the family with arrangements. Condolences may be left to the family at www.familylifefh.com.
