CASHTON - Darla Jean Schreier, 82, of Cashton, WI, passed away Wednesday, May 26, 2022, at Rolling Hills in Sparta, WI.

On November 8, 1959, Darla was united in Holy Matrimony to Ernest Schreier at St. Mary’s Ridge Catholic Church.
While Darla and Ernie were raising their kids, they would pack them all up in the summer and go along to the work sites and camp so they could all be together. They enjoyed going to horse pulls all over the state together.
She wore many different hats over her life, working as a physical therapist at Vernon Memorial Hospital, waitressing at Parkview Lanes, and also put in years at Northern Engraving. On top of these jobs, Darla also sold AVON products for over 30 years.
Darla loved wiener dogs and had four over the years. She enjoyed NASCAR, soap operas and playing cards. But Darla was a true family woman who adored her husband, children and grandkids.
