She was born in Elyria, Ohio on July 11, 1939 to the late Ida (nee Kavalecz) and Joseph Bodnar. She grew up in Lorain and graduated from Lorain High School in 1957.

They created a family centered on faith, family, and education. After having children, Darla attended the newly built Lorain County Community College where she received her Registered Nursing degree. Darla worked for many years at St Joseph Hospital being one of the first nurses who ministered on hospice. Her life incorporated prayer into action. She later retired from Autumn Aegis Nursing Home.

Darla was anointed for her journey through attending daily mass at St Peter Parish in Lorain, praying, going on retreats, giving to 8th Street Hunger Center and Homeless Shelter, being a Eucharistic Minister and teaching her faith through PSR for many years.
