Darlene Peters Spicer, age 69, of Booneville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born on January 20, 1957, in Virginia Beach, to Victor Leroy and Jacquelyn (King) Carson.

Darlene worked for many years as a CNA at the Owsley County Nursing Home, where she cared for others with compassion and dedication. She also enjoyed volunteering her time at Willie’s Copper Top and working at the Owsley County Recreation Center. Darlene will always be remembered for the love she shared, the laughter she brought to those around her, and the lasting impact she had on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
