Obituary of Karen "Darlene" Alberts

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Karen “Darlene” Alberts announce her passing at the Sussex Health Centre on May 2, 2025 at the age of 63.

Born in Saint John, NB on January 19, 1962; she was the daughter of the late Ronald Anthony “Jim” Alberts and Ruth Eleanor (Griffin) Alberts.

Darlene was larger than life and along with the fact that you never had to wonder what she was thinking, she could be heard from miles around. She loved to laugh and make others smile.

She enjoyed doing wordsearch and playing cards, especially crib and she had a passion and an eye for photography.

She will live on in the hearts of her siblings: Ruth Anne (Nan) Middleton and her husband Reynolds, Randy Alberts and his wife Lorie, Tony Alberts and his wife Karen and Daryl Alberts and his wife Doreen; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents, she is predeceased by her eldest brother, Ronald Alberts and his wife Maxine; her sister-in-law, Evelyn Alberts and by two nephews: Ronald Jr. and Kyle Middleton.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sussex, (506-433-1176). A visitation will take place on Wednesday, May 7, from 11:00-1:00pm, followed by a celebration of Darlene’s life at 1:00pm from the Wallace Community Chapel. The interment will take place in Kirk Hill Cemetery.

Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, Living Memorial or a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family. Donations and personal condolences to the family may be made through www.wallacefuneralhome.com
