Darlene Joyce Schultz

Darlene Joyce Schultz, age 66, of Maple Grove, entered into the arms of heaven on June 10, 2026. Born in Albert Lea, Minnesota, and raised in St. Louis Park.

Darlene deeply cherished her relationships with her family and friends. She loved spending time outdoors, giving back to her community through volunteering, immersing herself in a good book, and playing games and puzzles with those she loved. Her greatest joy, however, was being a grandmother. Her grandsons, Milo and Levi, were the lights of her life, and she loved being a constant, day-to-day part of their lives.

Preceded in death by her parents, Lester and Marilyn Schultz.  

Survived by her daughter, Jacqueline (Matthew) Hawkinson; her adored grandsons, Milo and Levi; her sisters, Laura Duket, Linda Schultz, and Sherry Spartz, and niece Dawn (Keith) Koran.

Please join the family to celebrate Darlene’s life on Monday, June 15, 2026, at Northwoods Church,16100 Arbor Ridge Pkwy., Maple Grove. Service will begin at 11:00 AM with visitation 1 hour prior.
