LaCosta Rose, daughter of Murray and Cecelia (Greywind) McKay was born on May 18, 1981 in Bismarck ND.  She attended school in Bismarck and later moved with her foster parents to the Fort Totten area.    In the late 2000’s, LaCosta moved to the Fargo/Moorhead area.

LaCosta certainly had her struggles, but she always knew the love of her Creator, she could always feel the love and prayers of her family and she always wanted what was best for her children.  She loved life, she was that special Mom who wanted to know what was happening in her children’s lives and was so very thankful to family and friends who helped her in anyway they could. 

LaCosta’s earthly life was brief, but we return her to the arms of her Creator for true happiness in eternity.
