It is with a very heavy heart that we share the passing of our dear friend and coworker, Darlene Exline. Darlene had been a valued member of the Battleview Market family since July of 2014, and over the years she became so much more than just an employee — she became a true part of our family.
Darlene was a familiar and comforting presence in the store. Her kindness, dedication, and willingness to help wherever she was needed never went unnoticed. She showed up each day with a strong work ethic, a caring heart, and a smile that so many of us came to appreciate. Whether helping a coworker, greeting a regular customer, or simply doing the everyday tasks that keep a store running, Darlene always gave her best.
For many of our customers, seeing Darlene was simply part of the routine of visiting the store. She took the time to talk, laugh, and make people feel welcome. That genuine warmth is something that cannot be replaced.
To us, Darlene was not only a cherished employee — she was our friend. She brought a sense of reliability, kindness, and community that made Battleview Market feel like more than just a workplace.
Her absence will be deeply felt by the entire Battleview team and by the many customers whose lives she touched over the years.
During this difficult time, we send our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers to Darlene’s family, friends, and loved ones. We are grateful for the years we were able to know and work alongside her, and we will always remember the impact she had on our store and our hearts.
Darlene will truly be missed and fondly remembered by all of us at Battleview Market.
