Rumley, 82, of Puyallup, Wash., passed away surrounded by his loving family Saturday, April 23, 2016 in Tacoma, Wash. Darrell was born October, 25, 1933 in Spokane, Wash. to Anita Conley and Lloyd Willoughby. He grew up in the “Inland Empire” area of Eastern Washington and in Idaho. As a child, he enjoyed fishing and the outdoors with his younger brother, Gary Rumley and his grandfather, Richard Rumley and gained his love of trees and life from a young age. After graduating from high school in 1952, he attended Eastern Washington State College, studying Forestry. In 1954, he joined the U. S. Army to serve his country. After military service he returned to college to finish his four-year degree from University of Montana, where he met the love of his life, Sharon Meyer. They were married Sept. 12, 1959. Darrell was a meticulous man of great deliberation and a true collector of people and things. He belonged to many collector organizations and was well thought of. He loved his Mariners and a good game of cribbage with co-workers and his brother, Gary. Darrell had a long career working for the BIA and the BLM. He retired from the career he loved in 1988. After retiring, Darrell turned to his passion of collecting as a second career and worked right up to the week of his passing. Darrell was truly the friend of many and the enemy of none. He was a kind and gentle man, full of love for family and life, a wonderful husband of almost 57 years, a great father, with unending patience and understanding, quiet charm, and a great sense of humor that affected people throughout his entire life. Darrell is survived by his wife of 57 years this year, Sharon Rumley and his three sons, Wes, Randy, and Kyle; eight grandchildren, K’trisha, Doug, Ethan, Tami, Kasey, Vance, Nathan, and Elliott; four great-grandchildren, Logan, Jade, Amethyst, and Isabell; and his brother, Gary Rumley. Also by everyone who was touched by him in his 82 years, you know who are in a list of many. A special thanks to Melissa Gearhart for her great help and kindness and to Dr. Deguzman, who was so helpful over the years of his retirement.
