Darlene Marie was born July 5, 1936 in the Township of Emmet to Ervin and Evelyn
(Kurtzweil) Rachu. She attended Enterprise School in the Township of Brighton,
Wisconsin, later graduating from Unity High School in 1954. Darlene married
Kenneth George Jicinsky, August 11, 1956 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Colby,
WI. They were blessed with eight children: Allen, Debra, Darla, Rhonda, Terry,
Christopher, Sherry and Michelle.
Darlene worked at Weinbrenner's Shoe Factory, Marshfield and then at Land 'O
Lakes, Spencer, retiring in 1996. Darlene was an active member of PCCW and St.
Veronica Circle at Christ the King Catholic church in Spencer. She also served
as a Girl Scout troop leader and participated in card clubs. Darlene loved
playing cards, reading, bowling, gardening, canning, picking berries, baking,
doing puzzles, visiting casinos and traveling. She loved watching her children
and later her grandchildren participate in school drama, music and sporting
activities.
Darlene was a very hard worker all her life. Darlene and Ken helped to build the
home they lived in most of their married life. She spent many days with Ken
'down in the woods' making firewood and was a self-taught wood crafter making
furniture and countless numbers of bean bag toss games. Ken and Darlene built a
spec house in Spencer, and remodeled a house in Stratford as a rental property.
In retirement, Ken and Darlene wintered nine years in Alamo, Texas and treasured
the friendships made there. They also had a wonderful group of Spencer friends.
Darlene especially looked forward to the visits from these friends over the past
few months as her health declined.
Darlene's greatest joy was her family. She loved getting together regularly to
play cards with her siblings and their spouses. She was a devoted mother and
grandmother and lovingly helped her children in whatever way she was able to
over the years and she most appreciated the opportunity to spend time talking
with and playing with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Darlene is survived by her husband and her best friend of over 61 years, Ken
Jicinsky of Spencer, their eight children: Allen (Gail) Jicinsky, Spencer, Deb
(Jon) Zinsli, Verona, Darla (Tim Hovre)Tyznik, Marshfield, Rhonda (Tom Jordens)
Jicinsky, Rhinelander, Terry Jicinsky, Las Vegas, NV, Chris (Lisa) Jicinsky,
Dayton, OH, Sherry (Scott) Bridges, Las Vegas, NV and Michelle (Tom) Johnson,
Marshfield. Her surviving siblings: Glenn (Darlene) Rachu, Donnie (Phyllis)
Rachu, Ray (Sharon) Rachu, Sharon (Jerry) Teige and Gloria (Jerry) Butterfield
and surviving in-laws: Charles Jicinsky and Delores Petersen. She will also be
dearly missed by her eleven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren,
relatives and friends.
Darlene was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, William Rachu,
sister-in-law, Donna Jicinsky and son-in-law, Duane Tyznik.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Darlene's name are being accepted
by her family for a charity to be determined.
