Darla had a gift for being the life of the party. She was known for her fun-loving spirit, her quick wit, and the way she could make anyone feel welcome. Family meant everything to her, and she was fiercely protective of her loved ones, especially her grandchildren, who were her pride and

joy. She loved gathering for holidays, birthdays, or simply a good visit, and she never missed the chance to bring laughter to the room.

She enjoyed watching her favorite reality shows like The Bachelor and 90 Day Fiancé, and those closest to her knew she loved relaxing with her cigarettes, her favorite music, and good conversation. Darla was strong, bold, and unapologetically herself. She taught her family the importance of loyalty, laughter, and standing by one another through everything life brings.

Her family will forever remember her warmth, humor, and her fierce love. Her presence will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
