Darla Rae Rencountre was born on May 2, 1997, in Minot, ND to Leroy Rencountre and Naticia Hale Feather. She was baptized in the Catholic church and attended school in New Town, ND. Darla worked at Walmart and had many hobbies outside of work. She loved to fish, play basketball, go on walks, watch movies/shows based on true stories, take selfies, and play on her phone. Darla had a big heart and loved being with her family and spending time with all the babies. She enjoyed family cookouts, cooking for her family (she made damn good frybread), the Bronco's, listening to all kinds of music, scary movies, and always had a joke to make.
