Darlene was born Oct. 1, 1939 in Chicago, Ill., the daughter of Joe and Mary (Kordas) Vulk. The family later moved to Osage in 1948, which was the hometown of her parents. She entered school in Osage and graduated from Osage High School in 1957. After graduation she went to work at Marrs Knitting Mill as a flat knitter. On June 21, 1958 she married John "Junior" Gruis of Rockford. They made their home in Rockford, and to this union, two children were born. Scott Allen Gruis was born March 16,1959, and Julie Ann Gruis (Salisbury) was born August 13,1965. She became a stay at home mom until both children entered school. She then became employed by Trettin Hatchery and Poultry Farm for nine years before returning to Osage to work at the Fox River Mill where she was again a flat knitter. After being laid off, she went into retail and worked at Fashion Bug where she worked for 25 years and then retired. Darlene enjoyed the company of her house cat Biscuit and her best friend Gordetta Hunt, whom she visited with daily on the phone if not in person. She had a great love for animals and always made sure that any stray that appeared on her deck did not leave hungry. She loved to go shopping, to the casino, movies, and dancing. She also enjoyed traveling to Texas and Mexico. Darlene is survived by her two children Scott (Cheryl) Gruis of Rockford, Julie (Doug) Salisbury of Nora Springs, five grandchildren Bryce (Michelle) Rosel of Waukee, Spenser Gruis and fiancée Amy Hild of Rockford, Nick Salisbury and girlfriend Katie McColloch of Fertile, Kaycee Salisbury and fiancée David Hamand of Kensett, and Sawyer Salisbury of Nora Springs, Three great grandchildren, Lindsay, Ryan and Nathan Rosel of Waukee, her brother Joe (Bev) Vulk of Osage, several nieces, nephews and cousins as well as her very special friend Terry Miller of Charles City..
