Darleyne was born November 1, 1952 to Edward and Darleyne Mehok. She grew up in Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis. She met John Leo Magel, when she was 15 years old out on the carnival. What a "RIDE" of a life they've had since then.... Darleyne and John were married on September 24, 1969 in Watertown, SD. and have lived in Rock Creek and Pine City for 45 years. Along with their family of four children, they built a life for themselves in the Outdoor Amusement Industry. Darleyne and John owned and operated game and food concessions on the family owned MCM Shows. They would finish their season with the Minnesota and Texas State Fairs and Fall Festivals. Darleyne is most recently known on the carnival circuit as the "Corn Dog Lady" - not only for the corndogs, but for her smile and personality. Darleyne loved many things about life. She mostly enjoyed spending time with her family. She enjoyed shopping, watching reality shows, playing cards, going to the casino, traveling with her husband, and talking to just about anyone. She also loved animals! She would feed just about any animal that came around the house. Darleyne told her family before she passed that she will love and miss everyone and will miss this life.
