She attended Winan Country School and Blackduck High School. She met Herbert Rockensock while he was conducting evangelistic meetings at Hornet Town Hall in the early 1940’s. She came to faith in Jesus and was baptized at that time. Herb and Darlene were married on June 10, 1943 at the Blackduck Evangelical Free Church which was meeting at the time in the Mobile Station in Blackduck, Pastor John Goodrich officiating. The newlyweds traveled by train to Richmond, California where Herb was employed in the war shipyards and Darlene worked in a canning factory. They returned to Blackduck in 1944, and lived in Duluth, Leonidas/Eveleth and Blackduck after the war. They raised their family of six children in rural Blackduck (Taylor Township) where they bought their family farm in the summer of 1959. Darlene enjoyed many activities throughout her life and various family events: baking, canning, cooking, gardening, her bantam chicks and her flower gardens… She loved knitting, walking in the country and ice fishing on Rabideau and boating with Herb on Twin Lake. She especially enjoyed spending time in the Word of God daily studying her Bible. Any time her family gathered for a special occasion or party she was there enjoying her “folks”. She was preceded in death by her parents, August and Bertha, her husband, Herbert in 1996, and her four brothers: Alvern, Joe, August, and Bill, and three sisters: Lucille, Myrtle and Florence; her son, Wallace, her grandson, Brett Rockensock, her daughter-in-law, Melba Rockensock and great-granddaughters, Etta Rockensock and Tracy Martin.
