After failed marriage, she gives it another try

Darlene Cornick has two grown daughters who are off beginning their professional careers.

“I beat myself up for having a failed marriage because that was against everything my parents had taught us; you know, ‘divorce’ not being part of our vocabulary and all that. But in this situation, it was a good thing. Plus, I have two great kids from him, and we did a really good job raising them.

“After 25 years of marriage, I wasn’t really looking for anything beyond working behind the chair as a hair stylist. Then my current sister-in-law introduced me to her brother-in-law. It all started by me giving him a haircut. It wasn’t a planned thing, it just happened. I didn’t think I was ready to get married again, but I guess I was. Things are going great now.”
