Darlene Carole Dubray passed away on January 2, 2026, at the age of 53, at her home in Malibu, California, following a courageous battle with Addison's Disease. She was born on August 4, 1972. Darlene is survived by her mother and stepfather, Alida Dubray and Donald Woods; she was predeceased by her stepsister, Jennifer Woods (1989).

Darlene had an adventurous nature, traveling to several countries including Thailand, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and several other Central American countries, and found her home in the United States, living first in Kauai, Hawaii, and later in Malibu. She was an avid surfer and paddle boarder and had given morning surf reports on KBUU-LP, a radio station serving Malibu at 99.1FM. Darlene was active in the community, finding herself pictured, quoted, and written about in Malibu Times and Malibu Magazine. Her interests included being a member of the Malibu Optimist Club, a docent at Adamson House, and a participant in events with the Malibu Seniors Center. Since 2015, she was active with Malibu CERT (California Emergency Response Team) in training sessions and during the Woolsey fire, COVID intervention, and Palisades fire deployments. She enjoyed her participation with Pasadena Media as a technical director/director, experiencing the various ins and outs of producing local television shows and movies.

Interment will take place at a later date, in a private ceremony at Elmwood Cemetery in Markham, Ontario, Canada.
