Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Darla Hope Ficklin, born March 23, 1964, to Morland and Bonnie (Sterns) Christopher of Passaic, Missouri, entered into eternal rest on October 23, 2007, at her home in Columbia, Missouri. Darla was in the loving company of her husband, Robert Lee Ficklin, her son, Robert ?Scot? Ficklin, and her daughter, Lindsey Kae Duane. Darla was preceded in death by her father, and she is survived by her mother Bonnie, her two sisters Misty Christopher and Kay Cole and her husband Hershel, and her brother Keith Christopher and his wife Lisa, all of Adrian, Missouri. Darla leaves one grandson, Kenneth Robert Hubbard, of Columbia, as well as many nieces, nephews, friends, and her beloved dog Lillian. Darla enjoyed travel, loved to laugh and to make others laugh, and she always offered comfort and support to those who could not stand for themselves. Darla excelled in her career as a nurse, and she found her calling working with the elderly and other people who needed the most care and compassion. A celebration of Darla?s life will be held at 2:00pm on Sunday November 4, 2007, at 317 Foxfire Drive in Columbia. Please call 999-9190 for details regarding the service.
I want to thank everyone who was able to spend time with Scot and Lindsey at the memorial service in Columbia. Scot had talked with his mother about the type of service she wanted to have to celebrate her life, and both Lindsey and Scot worked hard to make it happen. Thank you for sharing the experience with them.
I was so saddened when we received the info at the newspaper of Darla’s death. My heart went out especially to Scot. Although I only met him the one time, he holds a special place in my heart, and my love and sympathy are with the entire family.
