Their meeting marked the beginning of a remarkable journey together, and they shared 25 years of marriage built on love, friendship, loyalty, and countless cherished memories. Through every chapter of life, they remained devoted partners, creating a family and a life together that Darcy treasured above all else. Following her military service, Darcy built a successful career as an accountant in the construction industry and later pursued her entrepreneurial ambitions by owning and operating her own bookkeeping business. She was respected for her intelligence, professionalism, strong work ethic, and her willingness to help others. Darcy embraced life with enthusiasm and authenticity. She loved attending concerts, spending time with family and friends at local sporting events, collecting macabre and gothic treasures, and immersing herself in books as a passionate and voracious reader. She had a unique spirit, a wonderful sense of humor, and an unmistakable personality that drew people to her and left a lasting impression on everyone she met. More than any accomplishment, Darcy valued the relationships she built throughout her life. She lived fully and fearlessly, bringing joy, laughter, and love to those around her. Whether through a thoughtful conversation, a shared adventure, or simply her presence, she had a gift for making people feel welcome, appreciated, and loved. Darcy is survived by her devoted husband of 25 years, James Robert Vance; her son, Dylan Robert Vance and his wife, Alexa Vance; her daughter, Hannah Marie Vance; her father, Derry Blouin; her brothers and sisters-in-law, Dustin and Katie Blouin, and Derrin and Krista Blouin; along with her father-in-law, Gene Vance; mother-in-law, Patty Vance; sister-in-law, Stacy Huffman; and many beloved extended family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her mother, Tammy Blouin. In accordance with Darcy's wishes, there will be no funeral or formal service. Instead, family and friends will gather at a future date to spread her ashes at her favorite beach and celebrate a life that was lived with passion, courage, and love. Darcy's time with us was far too short, but the impact she made will endure. Her laughter, strength, kindness, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved. "Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day."
