Darla Kay Jordan

Darla Kay Jordan, 52, of Conrad, Mont., died suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday, Nov. 16.

Services are pending and a memorial service will be at a later date.

Darla was known to many as DJ. She will be remembered for her kindness and smile that could light up a room. She also will be remembered for her encouraging Facebook posts and messages. Darla had the chance to go on her first plane ride with her sister and niece to Minneapolis in 2021 and that was one of the most exciting times for her. She will be very missed by all that knew her.
