Darlene Myers
August 14, 1961 — May 12, 2024
Statesville
Medical Center, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The eldest daughter of Grady Hicks and Mary Holland Hicks, Darlene was born on August 14th,
1961 in Iredell County. She grew up in Statesville with her parents and younger sister, Melissa,
and spent most of her life in Statesville before moving to Belmont, North Carolina. She married
her husband, Dwayne Myers, on May 2nd, 2003, and enjoyed 21 years with him and their
daughter.
She was an avid gardener and enjoyed cooking, canning, and caring for her
animals—especially her birds and her two dogs, Bela and Millie. She always looked forward to
vacations to the beach and to the mountains. But most of all, Darlene loved spending time with
her beloved family and friends. She loved spoiling her 2 grandsons, Edziu and Josef, and was
proud to be called their “Mimi”. She also enjoyed a very close relationship with her grand-niece,
Kaydence Lambert. A loyal and generous woman, Darlene did her best to look after everyone in
her life and often took on the role of caregiver whenever one of her loved ones needed her.
Darlene is survived by her loving husband, Dwayne Myers, her daughter, Katrina Myers, her
son in-law, Edward Mikula, and grandsons Edward “Eziu” Mikula IV and Josef Mikula. She is
also survived by her sister, Melissa Tilley, brother in-law, Billy Tilley, grand-niece, Kaydence
Lambert, and her best friends Terry Reid and Tina Mcdaniels.
She is preceded by her parents, Grady and Mary Hicks.
