Darlene Thomas Rogge, age 82 of Sand Springs, MT, left this world on September 5, 2017 at the Garfield County Health Center.
Darlene was born on June 5, 1935 to William and Letha (McMain) Thomas. She was the 10th born out of 11 children. Darlene attended school at Jordan where she graduated from Garfield County High School with the class of 1954. On June 25, 1954 Darlene married Edwin Rogge in Miles City, MT. To this union five children were born: Darla, Carla, Wes and last but not least the twins: Dean & Jean. Darlene spent her entire life living at the family ranch at Sand Springs. She was the typical ranch wife, doing whatever was needed as long as it didn’t concern cows. She was known for her wonderful canned peaches and her pie baking abilities. Darlene was the kind of mother who gave you a hug in the morning and let you know you were loved by her. Her children knew that they could always count on her with her strong devotion to her goal of a tight knit family, one benefit of a stay at home mom. She was always humble, kind and encouraging to all and enjoyed attending her grandkids sporting events and school plays. Darlene’s wonderful sense of humor will certainly be missed, especially on occasions such as April Fool’s Day. Darlene and her family felt so blessed to have the loving care she always received at the nursing home in Jordan. It cannot be explained in words how thankful we are for that. Those who cared for her in the nursing home always treated her with kindness, respect, and dignity above the call of duty. The family wants to thank those, from the deepest of our hearts, who cared for our Mom.
Darlene is survived by her husband Edwin of 63 years, daughter Darla (Doug) Stanton of Brusett; daughter Carla (Jim) McWilliams of Jordan; son Wes (Ronda) Rogge of Sand Springs; Dean (Tanna) Rogge of Sand Springs and daughter Jean (Greg) Severe of Melstone, MT. Darlene is also survived by 15 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild; sister in laws Ruby Thomas, Shirley Thomas and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents William and Letha; brothers Carl Thomas, Kenneth Thomas, Clayton Thomas, George Thomas, Mick Thomas and Earl “Punk” Thomas; her sisters Ines Rogge, Roberta Likes, Elsie Thomas and an infant baby brother.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Darlene since we were in High School. She was always a quiet, sweet girl. I visited her when ever I was at the Nursing Home and we would have a laugh or too. I will miss seeing her smiling face. I think she now is making the Angels happy with her smiles and sense of humor. God bless each of you as you say good bye for a short time to a loved one. But the bright side is, you will be with her again.

Jerome Cameron says
Condolences to your family on the loss of a loved one, death is not always something we are prepared for and it can be a complexity of emotion and stress when it happens. May there be comfort found in these words from the bible.
Revelation 21:4 (And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.) It’s refreshing to know that Jehovah will put an end to suffering once we understand that death is not the end and we have a hope for the resurrection to an everlasting life.
Chris and Dennis Young says
Dean, Tanna and family,
Dennis and I are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. We are thinking of you.
