Sandra Darlene Earheart

Darlene Earheart of Mt. Juliet, TN passed away on January 24, 2023, at the age of 67.

Born in Nashville, TN to the late Raymond and Wilma Spray.  A widow, she was married to the love of her life, Allen Earheart, until his death in 2008. “Country Bumpkin and Sunshine” were married in 1973 and resided on their Mt. Juliet farm until their passing.

She worked many years for Gannett Publishing. During her life, she was known as a jack of all trades. She would attempt to do almost anything, usually the hard way. Her family refers to her as the “Hardest working woman they know.” She was a caring and thoughtful daughter, sister, wife, mom, grandmother, and best friend. Even when she was very ill, she would still try to make sure everyone else was ok.

She will be greatly missed by her loving family. Survived by: Siblings Diane, Rita, Johnny, and Sharon. Three children, Michelle (Jerry) Garrett, Lisa Earheart, and John Earheart. Three grandchildren Joseph, Nella, and Maci Garrett.

In her words, “It will either get better, or it won’t.” We all believe that it has indeed gotten better for her. She has been reunited and no longer suffers.
