Darcea attended and graduated from Libbey Highschool in 1977. Darcea had her first job at 16 years of age as a data entry specialist. Darcy married Lysander Townsend and birthed four children: two boys and two girls which she endearingly called her “four bunch”: Lysander, Levon, Nikki, and Tiffany. Darcy was a very busy young mom who was wholeheartedly dedicated to her young family as she managed and ran her mother’s business, Cobe’s Soul Food restaurant.

Darcea was employed at Libby glass for six years. Darcy married Oden Jackson and relocated to Pontiac, Michigan where she worked for Daimler Chrysler. Eventually she moved back to Toledo to be closer to her family. Darcy enjoyed cleaning and often cleaned professionally throughout her life. She loved cooking and cherished spending time with her family. She was a devoted caretaker of her grandchildren, as well as her mom.
