Darce M. Prince passed away Thursday, March 31, 2011, due to natural causes.
He was born on December 22, 1924 in Cedar City, Utah to James Lorenzo Prince and Rhoda Ann Batty of New Harmony.
He attended schools in New Harmony and Cedar City. In his early years he learned to work alongside his father in the sheep business and later operating equipment for his older brother Reed. Darce was employed at Jones Equipment Company in Cedar City for many years. He was later employed as a heavy equipment mechanic at the Iron Mines west of Cedar City and then at the mines in Tonopah, Nevada.
He retired to his farm in New Harmony in 1988 and spent the next 20 years enjoying his family, watering his fields, looking after his cows, and chasing deer and mountain lions on his mule ‘Red' in the hills he loved.
Darce was a member of the LDS Church. He will be remembered above all as a hard worker who could fix anything. He loved his family and provided well for them. He had many good friends and hunting buddies, and loved his hounds Tramp, Goldie and Sport.
Darce was preceded in death by his parents, wives Lorna Belle Anderson and Camilla Pace; brothers Reed, Lyle, Paul and Vivian; sisters Vada Grant, Fern Hall, Sylva Hall and granddaughter Chelsea Janes.
