Darleen worked alongside her husband, Randy, at Rogge General Contractors. She was instrumental in every part of the success of the company that they started 31 years ago. Darleen loved traveling and socializing; she was a friend to anyone and was not afraid to get to know someone she had just met. Darleen and Randy loved listening and dancing to rock and roll. She also adored spending time with her family and beloved grandchildren. She fought a courageous battle with PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) for the last 10 years.
Darleen is survived by her husband of 40 years, Randy Rogge; daughter, Becca (Miles) Lindsay; son, Daniel Rogge; grandchildren, Shea, Lainey, and Royce; siblings, Marjorie (Glen) Hodge, Doug (Barbara) Bowen, Debby (Charlie) Riddle, and Karen Bowen; along with numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and her stepfather, Fred Pierce.
