November 4, 2000 ~ June 28, 2019 (age 18)

Dalila Marie Raisch, "Manidoo Ikwe" which means "Spirit Woman", 18 years young, of Redby, Minnesota unexpectedly began her journey to the spirit world on Friday, June 28th, 2019. The daughter of Melissa Kingbird and Gerald Raisch, Sr., she was born on November 4th, 2000 in Bemidji, MN.

Dalila enjoyed being around her family and friends, especially Derick; whom she cared about a lot. On hot summer days she loved to go swimming and during the winter she enjoyed going to the Thief River Falls waterpark. Dalila really loved her fur babies, especially Thorne. She loved it when her family would get together on holidays and birthdays, but her favorite were birthdays. She went all out for her brothers and sisters. Dalila's favorite food was her Grandma Bevy's Indian tacos.

When Dalila received her first payment, she bought her two trucks that she named Baby Boy and Inzo. She was very proud of them and you could tell, she was always cleaning them. Dalila enjoyed shopping to buy makeup and getting her nail done. She always said that her "nails were the shit". She loved going on rides and blasting her music.

Dalila worked at the Red Lake Fisheries and was very honest to her work. On the weekend was when her kind of party started. She took pleasure in smoking her loud bud. Dalila was always very respectful to everyone and everything; especially her grandparents and her elders and when it came to helping others, she would give her last dollar if you needed it.

When all is said and done, Dalila loved her social media, you could always find her on Facebook looking at memes. Snapchat was her favorite thing to do, she was always updating her stories and sharing silly videos.
