The Puget Sound Susan G. Komen Co-ed 5K Race for the Cure Walk
Sunday, June 7, 2009 in Seattle, WA, at Qwest Field.
“Why we walk… We walk to remember, we walk to celebrate, leaning on to each other and holding onto faith. For those who are gone and those who live on. We honor them all, and that’s why we walk. For life, for love, for one another, for him for her there’s strength in numbers. That’s why we walk; we walk to remember, we walk to celebrate.” (Phil & Julie Vasser)
About Mama Fox:
Darlene Fox, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away on February 2nd, 2008 on a sunny afternoon surrounded by her family and friends after a very determined 11 year fight with breast cancer.
Darlene was born on May 19, 1955 in North Burnaby, Vancouver, British Columbia to Eskil and Margaret Jungaro. She attended Mariner High School and Everett Community College and owned and operated Bay View Child Care in Everett, which she established in 1978. Swedish by birth, Darlene had a lifelong love of horses and the Cowboy Way, buying her first horse at 14 and riding her last horse, her dream Palomino just a few months before she died. Darlene was a very active advocate for children's rights. She was a member of the Assistance League of Everett - Kitty Young Auxiliary and she worked extensively with Representative Pat Scott developing legislation to protect children and stiffen penalties for child abusers.
Darlene is survived by her husband of 33 years, Phillip Fox; daughter, Mariah Fox Miller (husband Erik Miller); son, Logan Fox (wife Jenny Fox); stepson, Phillip Fox Jr.; grandchildren, Montana and Safronia Miller, William, Waylon, Clayton and Coleman Fox; mother, Margaret Jungaro and uncle, Gunnar Jungaro. She has many close relatives still living in Sweden and Finland and enjoyed visiting the original Jungaro family home near Jeppo, Finland. Darlene was preceded in death by her father, Eskil Jungaro.
Darlene liked to live life in a BIG WAY. She was an outstanding friend, wife, mother and grandmother . . . always optimistic, adventuresome, and capable. Darlene was especially known for her love of life, her sense of fun and her unique sense of humor. She was headstrong, determined, opinionated, kind and more than anything, compassionate in the most profound way. Her home in Everett was the social center for a much extended network of friends and family. Her ability to live in the moment and live each day to the fullest, even in the face of her illness, was an inspiration to all who were lucky enough to know her as a friend.
