Darlene Mae (Fosnes) Groe was born on December 21, 1927, in Lake Mills, Iowa, to Amund and Sarah (Anderson) Fosnes. Darlene was baptized and confirmed at Salem Lutheran Church in Lake Mills. She graduated from Lake Mills High School in 1945.

Darlene loved being an integrated part of the Lake Mills community. She was involved in the historical society, bridge clubs, church circles, and the fine arts guild, among other activities and clubs she belonged to.
Darlene loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and was a devoted Norwegian Lutheran through and through. In the words of Martin Luther, “simultaneously Saint and Sinner”, everything was black and white with no grey areas. Darlene was very serious about her Christianity and was also very serious about her humor, thus making her the woman we adored!
Darlene is survived by her loving son and daughter-in-law, Wayne and Gayle Saxerud of San Jose, CA; grandchildren, Erik Saxerud, Andrea Saxerud, Natalie Unruh, Mike Unruh, and Joey Unruh; a sister-in-law, Marilyn Saxerud of Prescott, AZ; special nephews Dennis “Deke” (Sue) Miller of Lake Mills, IA, and Ron (Jean) Miller of Joice, IA; along with many other extended relatives and special friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; first husband Adrian Saxerud; second husband Ronald Groe; son John Robert Saxerud; four sisters; and two brothers.
Special thanks to all of Darlene’s caregivers who so lovingly allowed her to remain in her home, per her wishes. Veronica, Erma, Brenda, and Willie, as well as Winnebago County home health care staff, and Hospice of North Iowa staff and volunteers.
