She attended grade school at Joan of Arc, a one-room schoolhouse near Groton, and graduated from Groton High School in 1950. Following graduation, Darleen worked at St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company for seven years.

Darleen was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church near Mansfield, SD, and was an active and faithful member. She also belonged to Trinity L.W.M.L., Mansfield American Legion Auxiliary, the Cheerful Chicks Club, and taught Sunday School.
