Darlene C. Klingenmeier (nee Ehrlich), 71, of Amherst, died at her residence Sunday, January 6, 2008, following an 18-month illness with lung cancer.
She was born in Lorain, December 22, 1936, and was a 1954 graduate of Clearview High School.
In 1954 she won the local beauty contest "Miss Vacationland" which had contestants from Lorain, Erie, and Huron counties.
For many years she was the office manager at her husband’s construction company, Klingenmeier Builders, which was located in Amherst. She was also a secretary at the Ford Lorain Assembly Plant, U.S. Steel Corp., Lorain, and the former Lorain Community Hospital.
Over 30 years ago, she became a real estate agent servicing the Lorain County area and most recently was employed at Howard Hanna, Amherst.
From 1960 to 1985 she was organist for Family Fellowship Foursquare Church, Amherst. She continued to play at church for special occasions. Since 1957 she was an organist at the Garland-Misencik Funeral Home, Amherst.
Darlene enjoyed collecting antiques, and most of all spending time with her family. In the past, she taught piano to local students.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 32 years, Reinhold W. (1989); her father, Edward Ehrlich (1958); and her father and mother-in-law Oscar and Gertrude Klingenmeier.
The family will receive friends 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, January 9, 2008, at Garland-Misencik Funeral Home, 851 Park Ave., Amherst. The funeral service will be 11 a.m. Thursday, January 10, 2008, at Family Fellowship Foursquare Church, 780 Cooper Foster Park Road, Amherst. The Rev. William R. Mouer, pastor, will officiate.
