Darlene Ann Rohrer

Darlene Ann Rohrer, age 68, passed away on May 30, 2026, at Altercare of Navarre. She was born in Canton, Ohio, on December 18, 1957, to the late Richard Duff and Norma Jean Duff Camarata. Darlene was a 1976 graduate of Canton South High School.

Darlene dedicated more than 20 years to Marc's working in various positions. She also worked for a few years at Fisher's before her retirement. Darlene faithfully attended Southwest Church of Christ for most of her life.

She found great joy in many things but one of her favorites was traveling to the farm with Mike. She loved to see the highland cow, and she said one day she'd be able to take a baby home. Her family fondly remembers her happiness when recalling this memory of hers. In her younger years she played organ and she still owns the organ she had as a child when she first learned.

Most importantly, Darlene loved her family. She loved her children and her grandchildren and being with them meant more to her than anything else. She will be deeply and truly missed by those she leaves behind.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Walter Rohrer; and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ernie and Lucy Rohrer.

She is survived by her children, Daniel and Chris Walker and Diana (Roger) Lamb; grandchildren, Katelyn and Cole; sister, Kathy (Jonathan) Herbruck; nephews, Mark Louk, Jonathan Jr. and Jared Herbruck; nieces, Tiffany Matako and Jennifer Herbruck; beloved grand-dog, Buffy, who brought great comfort to Darlene as she stuck faithfully by her side; as well as other family members and friends.

As life progressed she pursued and obtained her nursing degree and began her career as a registered nurse. She touched many lives while working at Cortland Memorial Hospital in New York, before relocating to Mercy Medical Center in Canton, Ohio.

In her later years, Cindy obtained her MSN and shared her knowledge and passion for nursing through education. She taught nursing at Kent State University Tuscarawas Campus and after retiring she was called back to work as the Director of Nursing at the Buckeye Career Center School of Nursing. She also played an instrumental role in the nursing program at Akron Institute by assisting the Director of Nursing in their inaugural year. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Cindy was an exceptionally skilled seamstress. She was active in the Pike Township Grange, volunteered at Zoar, and valued the connections she made within her community.

Her family has many loving memories of Cindy laughing, singing and bringing joy to others.

Many remember spending days with her baking bread, learning to sew, singing together and pulling silly pranks. She had a great love and appreciation of music, the arts and nature.

All of her close family remember her April Fool’s day wedding to the love of her life, her “Jeffy”. They spent their 37 happy years of marriage traveling the world, exploring the National Parks, visiting all 50 United States, all ten Canadian provinces, Mexico, Poland and Great Britain. She noted Oregon was her favorite. They captured many memories of their travels in photos which are proudly displayed in their home.

William "Bill" Moose Jr.

William “Bill” Moose Jr, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, neighbor, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was 75 years old.

To know Bill was to know kindness, generosity, and quiet strength. He was the kind of man who never hesitated to help someone in need, often putting others before himself without expecting anything in return. Whether you knew him as a friend, neighbor, or family member, there is a good chance he made your life a little easier, brighter, or better simply because that was who he was.

For 53 devoted years, Bill shared a beautiful marriage with the love of his life, Patty. Together they built a family grounded in love, laughter, loyalty, and unwavering support. He was a proud father and grandfather who cherished every moment spent with his family, from everyday conversations to holiday gatherings and simple moments that became lifelong memories.

Bill had a lifelong love for cars and baseball — passions that brought him joy throughout his life and gave him countless stories, memories, and moments shared with family and friends. Whether he was admiring a classic car, or watching a ballgame, those who knew him could see the spark in his eyes.

He was also a man of few words, but when he spoke, people listened. He never felt the need to be the loudest person in the room, because the things he said mattered. His words carried wisdom, humor, honesty, and heart.

Bill will be remembered for his incredible work ethic, his selflessness, and his unmistakable sense of humor. He had a sarcastic wit and a perfectly timed comment for nearly every occasion — the kind that could make you shake your head one moment and laugh uncontrollably the next. Even in ordinary moments, he had a way of making people feel comfortable, welcomed, and cared for.

More than anything, Bill was a role model. He led not through words alone, but through actions — showing those around him what it meant to be dependable, humble, hardworking, and compassionate. His family will forever carry his lessons, his humor, and his example in their hearts.

He is survived by his loving wife, Patty; his children, Bill III, Joe, and Samantha; his grandchildren, Lola and Louie, and many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him deeply.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Norma.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Bill by doing something kind for someone else — just as he always did.

Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for every moment we had with him. His love, laughter, wisdom, and legacy will remain with us always.

He was born on June 6th, 1930, to the late Irene (Werley) and Norvin Foltz. He graduated from East Canton high school in 1948.

After graduating he became a dairy farmer. Three years later he started D & K Supply as a Zero Bulk Tank and Badger Farm Equipment Supply.

Later, he became interested in oil and gas and rebranded D&K Supply as an oil field supply store, which was then passed down, and is still in operation by the 3rd generation.

His ongoing love for the area he was raised in, Mapleton, led him to purchase the Foltz Family Farm, along with Frase Farm and McDaniel Farms through the years. Dwain was a committed community member both in his acquisition of and caring for the Osnaburg area and constantly searched for outlets where he could give back. He then became a Rotary member and served as President, later being named as citizen of the year. He continued utilizing his aptitude for leadership by founding and becoming an integral member of the Greater East Canton Community Development Association where the first project was opening the Foltz Community Center in 1995.

Recently, Dwain saw an opportunity for growth at his Alma Mater, and he was adamant about bettering both the academic and athletic life at East Canton. He and his wife Kathy became primary donors in the construction of the Foltz Stadium and Foltz Fieldhouse, following his passion for football, as well as classroom spaces for students.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Irene (Werley) Foltz and Norvin Foltz, sister Eileen (Foltz) Conrad, son Robert Dwain Foltz, son-in-law Thomas Lesher, and granddaughter-in-law Shannon (Predmore) Lesher.

Those left to cherish his memory and continue his legacy, are his loving wife Kathy Foltz, with whom he was dedicated for more than 50 years, his daughter Cathy Lesher-Patzell (Chris), his daughter-in-law Betty Foltz, his grandchildren , Jacob (Davina) Lesher, Jesse Lesher, Katie Hannen, and great grandchildren, Abagail and Samantha Lesher, Kylie Hannen, and Jacen and Logan Lesher.
