Darlene was born in Anadarko, Oklahoma to Ruth and J.D. Sechrist and grew up on a farm northwest of Apache, where she attended school.

She worked for Central State University and later, First National Bank, part time while attending college. In 1969, she met Darrell Nasalroad, and they were married at the CSU Chapel that same year. She earned her Master's Degree in Education in 1976 while teaching at Northern Hills Elementary in Edmond and retired after teaching third grade for twenty-seven years.
