Darlene Schilling

October 23, 1959 - October 10, 2026

Darlene Schilling, 67, of Bordentown, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at home surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Darlene moved to the Bordentown area at a young age and made it her home for many years. She was formerly employed with Conduit (formerly NJ Family Care) as an                      Insurance Processor, dedicating many years of service to her career.

In her spare time, Darlene enjoyed taking trips to the Jersey Shore, relaxing by the pool, tending to her  garden, and gathering with family and friends for picnics and special occasions. She especially treasured the simple pleasures in life and the wonderful memories made with those she  loved. Above all else, Darlene's greatest joy was her family. She cherished every moment spent with her loved ones, especially her grandchildren, who held a very special place in her heart. She also adored her beloved dogs, who brought her endless happiness and companionship.

Darlene will be lovingly remembered for her devotion to her family and the love she shared with those closest to her.

Predeceased by her parents, Walter H. and Patricia A. (Barker) Bowling; she is survived by her loving husband of 26 years, Kirk L. Schilling; sons Matthew Hawes, and David Mayo and his wife, Maria Sanches; stepdaughters, Victoria Bernheard and Christina Bernheard; a sister, Patricia DePace; a grandson, Kaleb Hawes; her beloved canine companions, Roscoe and Sadie; a sister-like-cousin, Deborah Young; as well as many other relatives and dear friends.
