Marilyn Darlene Powers

Mrs. Marilyn Darlene Powers (née Tipton), of Clovis, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at the age of 72.

Darlene was born to parents Marion Ewell and Elna Fern Tipton on February 20, 1947 in Clovis, NM. She grew up as the eldest of three and graduated from Idalou High School in Texas. She married Prentice Powers in 1980 and recently celebrated their 40th anniversary together on 24 January. She was a loving mother to seven children.

She served the community for many years as a Notary Public and member of the Country Club Road Church of Christ. She enjoyed attending church services and going camping with Prentice, but her favorite thing was spending time with her grandchildren.
