Public Memorial for Darlene Flynn Saturday at 2 p.m.

An informal public memorial service will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. in memory of Darlene Flynn, a well-known Menifee resident whose body was found dead in her backyard pool July 22.

Family members announced tonight that an impromptu gathering has been organized for the Wild West Arena in Winchester, located at 31520 Grand Ave., north of Simpson Avenue and east of Winchester Road. The public is invited and those who knew Flynn are invited to share their memories of her.

Flynn, 58, became internationally known for her world-record collection of more than 15,000 shoes and shoe-related items. Her ex-boyfriend, Justin Charles Smith, has been charged with her murder.
