- Darlene Jasper went to be with our Lord on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2014, in Tehachapi.
She was born to Durward Ross Trolinger and Loleta Salome Trolinger on Aug. 10, 1946, in Fort Worth, Texas. She was raised in Albuquerque, N.M. and attended college at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. There, she met the love of her life, Harry Jasper. They were married on June 14, 1966. They spent 48 wonderful years of marriage together.
They moved to Tehachapi in 1966, where Harry began his 38-year teaching career at Tehachapi High School. Darlene worked for Tehachapi Unified School District for 15 years. She touched the lives of many youth; her passion for teenagers didn?t stop there. Harry and Darlene served as youth pastors at First Baptist Church, Tehachapi, bringing many young souls to the Lord.
She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend. She struggled with health issues since her late twenties, but it hardly showed; her love of life and positive attitude outshone it all.
Darlene was determined to live well, and share her faith and strength with all she touched. There were no limits to how much she did for anyone; her giving heart was a badge she wore all her life.
Darlene is survived by her husband, Harry Jasper; her daughters, Lexey Winterrowd and son-in-law David, and Jodi Jasper; her grandchildren, Ally Winterrowd, Zach Griffin, Kelby Winterrowd, Zain Jasper, and Josh Winterrowd; sisters, Shirley and Charlotte; and many nieces, nephews, and their families.
Her faith and love for our Lord Jesus Christ is her testimony. Her love and devotion to her husband of 48 years is an inspiration to all.
