Darlene was born June 17, 1929 in the town of Holway to Helen (Raymond) and Edward Riemer.

On June 18, 1947, she married Frank E. Gebauer Jr. at Zion Lutheran Church in Stetsonville. They resided in the town of Greenwood where they farmed for many years. Frank preceded her in death on May 18, 2002.

Darlene was a gifted baker, who loved to bake for her family and friends. She found out what their favorites were and made those special treats for birthdays, graduations, and other events. It was hard to tell what was better, the baking or her canned pickles. A favorite past time was playing cards with her special group of lady friends, and also at Stetsonville Community Center. Her most cherished memories were time spent with her children, grandchildren and siblings.

Survivors include her children, Roger (Kim) Gebauer, Janice (Russell) Bullis, all of Rib Lake, Beverly (Lawrence) Molitor, Bruce (Joyce) Gebauer, June (Jess) Carlson, all of Medford; siblings, Faith (Roger) Higgins of Medford, Ralph (Dorothy) Riemer of Waterford, Carol (Jack) Gaba of Wisconsin Rapids, William (Sheryl) Riemer of Birchwood, Gary Riemer of Stetsonville, Sharyle (Dennis) Peche of Dorchester; 14 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Frank Jr.; siblings, Gerald (Karen) Riemer, Duane (Carol) Riemer; in-laws, Ray (Brenda) Gebauer, Norman (Ann) Gebauer, Loretta (Aaron) Brahmer, Doris (Eugene) Schlais, Henry (Myrtle) Gebauer, Amelia (Bill) Dassow, and Marie (Bert) Willner.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may go to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church or to Hope Hospice.
