Darlene Kolbicka Hilton

Our beloved mother, wife, grandmother, and sister, Darlene Kolbicka Hilton, of Glenwood, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2025 at the age of 62. She was surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 25, 1963 in Honolulu, Hawaii. She was the daughter of John Robert Kolbicka and Angeline Ann Mulhern Kolbicka. 

She was a beacon of light, love, and laughter to all who knew her.

Darlene dedicated her life to her family and her patients and found her greatest joy in being a devoted wife and loving mother and grandmother. Darlene was known for her love for animals as she rescued several. She taught us that true strength lies in kindness and a gentle heart.
