Darloween Velores was born on November 12, 1933, the daughter of Ben and Esther (Karger) Noetzelman in Alexandria. She was baptized at Zion Lutheran Church in Alexandria by Rev. Bartz and confirmed her faith in 1947 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in West Miltona.

She attended school in Parkers Prairie through the tenth grade. Following her education, she went to work at Herb’s Eastside Bakery in Alexandria. Darloween met Clifford Wunderlich, and they were united in marriage on September 27, 1953, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in West Miltona.

The couple moved to Lake Charlie, where they farmed. In 1969, they moved to the William Wunderlich family farm, where they continued farming. Over the years, Darloween helped with the farm work, milked cows, and cleaned cabins at area resorts while managing the household and raising six children.

Darloween was an active member of the Miltona Senior Citizens Club and a longtime member and officer of the Miltona VFW Ladies Auxiliary, where she served as president on several occasions. She enjoyed embroidering dish towels, making quilts for the veterans, playing cards and bingo, dancing the waltz and polka, and visiting with family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Clifford in 2017; sister Charmae Ann Schumacher; and brothers, Maynard and Larry Noetzelman.

Darloween is survived by her six children, Gwendolyn (Thomas) Klimek of Eagle Bend, Rodney (Joni) Wunderlich of Miltona, Leon (Cindy) Wunderlich of Parkers Prairie, Leslie (Kari) Wunderlich of Owatonna, Todd (Lisa) Wunderlich of Parkers Prairie, and Kelly (Theresa) Wunderlich of Eagan; sisters, Mazie (James) Kruse, Susan Noetzelman, Cynthia (Carmen) Sorenson, and Victoria (Carlton) Swartwood; brother, Dennis (Judy) Noetzelman; 12 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; a great-great granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers are her grandsons, Daniel Klimek, Bill Wunderlich, Scotty Wunderlich, Bobby Wunderlich, Brian Wunderlich, Bradley Wunderlich, Michael Wunderlich, and Ben Wunderlich. Honorary pallbearers are her remaining grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great granddaughter, and the Ladies VFW Auxiliary.
