Upon graduating from Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa she moved to Orange county to study Jazz music at Golden West College.
Her vibrant, loving personality and her incredibly beautiful voice led her to numerous venues, including:

It was in this musical world that she met Vincent (the bass player) who was to be her life partner in marriage. Together they raised two loving, beautiful children, Joseph and Hannah, who are also musically gifted like their parents.
Darcey was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and trusted friend that loved unconditionally.
Darcey touched many different lives with her sincere love, whether it be family, those in the field of music, education or community. Besides being dedicated to her family, she also enjoyed entertaining, singing up a storm! She loved musicals, good soulful music, life's celebrations, babies, butterflies, and laughing with family and friends.
Among the most important things in her life – belief in God, humanity's inherent spirituality, dedication to family and friends.
Darcey, you left us too soon and will be so surely missed. Our comforts are the many fond memories, and your loving heart and life that you shared with us.
