Darlene Murdock Fuhriman was born February 11, 1941, to Ken and Vera Murdock in Ogden, Utah. She was the third of four daughters, with one baby brother. Darlene, along with her sisters, saved a toddler who was engulfed in flames in a field. At the time, she had no idea that the toddler she saved was the youngest brother of her future husband. This tragedy brought she and Jared Keith Fuhriman together. Soon after, Jared left on his mission to New Zealand. Darlene waited for her soul mate, “Jer Bear,” for two and a half years. They married soon upon his return, on December 16, 1959, in the Logan, Utah, LDS Temple.
Darlene and Jared started their lives together in Ogden, and then moved to Logan, Utah, where they had their first three children, Jared, Glen, and Lynn.
Darlene suffered from an accident early in her thirties that resulted in a broken back. She battled chronic pain and struggled daily to get up and go to work. Due to this, she left a lasting impression on her children of perseverance and the value of a strong work ethic.
