Darrel was born in Lankin, Kansas on October 12, 1938 to parents Arthur Farnsworth and Minnie Frickel Farnsworth and passed from this life in Enid on March 17, 2017. He was raised in the Ringwood area and lived and farmed there his lifetime, except for the time he served his country in the U. S. Marines. He and Delila Mae Nightengale were married on November 7, 1970 in Richmond, Oklahoma. Darrel was a member of New Beginnings Wesleyan Fellowship and was also a proud member of the Gideons. He went to area schools, the Mercy House in Enid and many other places giving New Testaments to all the people he encountered.
