Darleen Mae Moe

Darleen Mae Moe passed away January 25th, just a couple weeks shy of her 83rd birthday. She was a genuine, one-of-a-kind treasure that was deeply loved and adored by her family and friends. Even in her final hours, her love for others, unique energy and sense of humor were on full display. Her spirit, her laughter, and her generous soul will be sorely missed by us all. Darleen was born to Donald and Bernice (Erichsen) Meek at her parents' home in Stewartville, Minnesota, where she was raised and educated until her marriage to Stanley E. Moe on December 29, 1954. As a wife and mother, she was the heart, soul, conscience, and spunk of the family. Besides taking care of the home, she volunteered at schools and occasionally worked part time. In addition to spending time with her family, she loved traveling, reading books, and Word Find. During her life, she made homes in Minnesota, New Mexico, Illinois, Texas, Mississippi, and Florida. She is survived by her husband Stanley Moe of Rochester, MN; son Kevin (Deanna) Moe of Cincinnati, OH, and their children Heather and David; daughter Bonnie (Wayne) Erie of Rochester, MN and their children Matthew and Melissa; daughter Susan (Jeffrey) Sprenger of Lakeville, MN, and their sons Jason and Daniel; son Jeffrey (Michelle) Moe of Stewartville, MN and their daughter Amber; brother Gerald (Ruth Ann) Meek of Kasson, MN; and 12 Great Grandchildren.
