She was born on December 26, 1941 in Fremont, OH to Wayne and Hattie (Arnold) Krueger. Darla married Thomas A. Rahe on October 13, 1962 at Grace Lutheran Church in Elmore, OH. Darla and Thomas raised four children and celebrated nearly 64 years of marriage together.

In addition to being a homemaker Darla, worked outside of the home as the Librarian for Eastwood Schools (Jr. High) until she retired. A woman of great faith she was a very active member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Pemberville. Among her many ministries was assisting a family in the planning and preparation of the funeral luncheons. Darla also enjoyed cooking, baking, (her family remembers her wonderful pies). She also enjoyed babysitting, flowers such as roses, lilies, poinsettias, and being a loving wife to her husband Thomas and loving mother to her children. However, her greatest joy was not only spending time with her family but rooting on and attending her many grandchildren's sporting events.

In addition to her husband Thomas, left to cherish her memory are her children: Kevin (Christine) Rahe of Perrysburg, Kelly (Steve) Ulinski of Elmore, Kraig (Ann) Rahe of Medina, Kristin (Greg) Johnson of Findlay, 12 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.
