Darlene F. Blumenberg

Darlene F. Blumenberg of Port Washington passed away on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026. She was 81 years old.

She was born on May 14, 1944, in Port Washington, Wis., to parents Richard and Dorothy (nee Riffler) Blumenberg.

Darlene attended Port Washington schools and graduated from Port Washington High School with the Class of 1962.

Darlene dedicated many years to her work at Sprague in Grafton.

Following her tenure there, she devoted her time to caring for her beloved grandmother and mother in their home. Darlene also offered her support to her partner Marvin as he assisted the Uihlen family.

Her nurturing spirit extended to her role at Walmart, where she worked part time before concluding her career at Heritage Nursing Home, a position she held until health challenges began affecting her vision. Darlene also spent time helping her brother Rodney with events at his business, R&R Bar & Grill.

She was known for her compassion and dedication to her family. Throughout her life, she was a caretaker for many family members. Her nurturing ways touched the hearts of those fortunate enough to know her, and she will be dearly missed by all.

Darlene is survived by her life partner of more than 50 years, Marvin Schulze, sister-in-law Renette Blumenberg, nieces Nicole Blumenberg (Peter Saggio) and Carla Blumenberg, great-nieces Julia and Rachel Mitchell, many other family members and friends.
