Darla was born March 29, 1966 and passed away October 3, 2020 at the age of 54. She loved watching PBR and going to events with her sister, Talitha and brother-in-law, Johnny. She was a huge fan of Atlanta Braves baseball and loved having her Diet Coke with extra, extra crushed ice. Darla had a heart of gold and loved with every ounce of her being. All of her nieces and nephews were her babies, and she never gave up on them or quit trying in every way to help them. She was the glue that held her family together and best friend to her children. Dusti, Dana, and Daniel were her life and the beat of her heart. She had a special bond and was “GaGa” to her “heartbeat”, Deuce Boudreaux. She lived for her grandchildren, Grayson and Khloe. She was excitedly awaiting the arrival of her first granddaughter. Her grandbabies knew her a Nonna. Darla loved spending time and taking care of everyone around her.
Darla was preceded in death by her father, Harvey Semons and the love of her life, her husband Donnie, and her beloved daughter, Dana, passed away with her on October 3rd.
