Karla Kay Falcon was born on December 9, 1962 to Kenneth and Arlene Hagan Falcon in Belcourt, ND. Karla was raised in Williston, baptized and confirmed Lutheran.

Misty and Tammi leaned on their middle sister growing up, Karla being their guardian and confidant. Her youth was spent outdoors, igniting her love for fishing, riding horses, boating, skiing and canoeing. She eventually started waitressing at Eddie B’s truck stop in high school until she graduated from WHS in 1981.

Before graduating, she also began working at Mercy Hospital, following her mother’s footsteps in Healthcare. She often took care of her grandma Josephine, helping her find her calling as a CNA and working with the elderly.

Karla stayed with nursing and obtained her degree as an LPN in the years to come. During her career, she became very close with her patients, she loved them and they loved her back. It would break her heart when they would pass away.

Karla found the first love of her life, whom she married, Brian Stoll. Brian and Karla had two daughters, Julian and Lisa Stoll. They were raised in Williston bestowing their love of the outdoors, camping, fishing and boating through their childhood.
Karla moved to Watford City in 1996, continuing her career at Good Shepherd Home for many years. Karla also worked at the local hospital to help with the growing demand for her expertise. Karla loved being around people, showing her beautiful smile and her upbeat attitude wherever she went. This lead her to picking up additional shifts at the Missouri Grille to help pass her free time and continue spreading her infectious love of people.

Karla had such a beautiful smile, helping her meet the second love of her life, Douglas Drovdal in 2008. Douglas’s children, Jordan and Aubreeana, were quickly welcomed into her heart and raised as her own. Karla and Doug spent many years together enjoying the finer things in life. A few of their favorites such as rides on the motorcycle, attending concerts, or spending memorable weekends at the Drovdal Cabin in McKenzie Bay. Doug and Karla were recently married in August of 2018 at their favorite location, the lake house.
