Darlene Faye Rollins, age 70, passed away Monday, August 16, 2021 with son Jeremy and friend Kelly at her bedside at Seasons Hospice Lutheran Home, Wauwatosa, WI.
Born July 18, 1951 in Appleton and raised in Hilbert, WI, Darlene was a daughter of the late Elmer and Erna (Krueger) Diener.
Darlene has worked at American Can, Shopko, Menards, Pitney Bowes, Alta, Goodwill, 4Imprint (Flex-Staff), Home Interiors and Creative Stitchery. Many of her co-workers thought of her as their second mom. She loved watching the birds, taking care of her flower garden and her love of plants which possibly comes from growing up on a farm as a young girl. She was an avid Cross-stitcher, and loved piecing jigsaw puzzles and traveling. Darlene was always ready to get together for coffee, taco dip and tortilla chips.
She is survived by her son Jeremy and grandson Kenan Rollins and dog Marley. Sister Dolores and Ron Bornemann, brother Dan and Connie (Vande Hey) Diener. Father and Mother-in-law Roy and Margaret Rollins, Sister-in-law Rita Rollins, brother-in-law Rick and Kay (Davis) Rollins, Sister-in-law Rene and Victor Briones, and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
She was preceded in death by husband Randy, parents Elmer and Erna (Krueger), brother Dale and Susie (Bauernfield) Diener, and other relatives and friends.
