Throughout her life, Darcy worked in many different roles and was known for her strong work ethic and her willingness to help wherever she was needed. She was a devoted member of Christian Fellowship Church, where her faith, kindness, and compassion touched the lives of many.

In her free time, Darcy cherished spending time with her husband, especially enjoying target shooting together and playing pool. She loved being surrounded by friends, deeply treasured her dog, Harley, and found true joy in helping others. Darcy had a big heart and was loved by many.

Darcy is survived by her loving husband, Gary Ostercamp; two sons, David Julsen and his wife Lisa, and Duane Julsen and his wife Evelyn; three stepchildren, Joel Ostercamp, Cory Ostercamp, and Amber Ostercamp; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and two brothers, Craig Julsen and Mike Julsen and his wife, Vikki.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Joyce Julsen, and her brother, Brad Julsen.

Darcy will be remembered for her generosity, compassion, and the love she shared so freely with those around her.
