We lost a member of The City of Fargo family on November 21 with the passing of Jaclynn Davis-Wallette. Jacylnn was an exceptional woman with an extremely kind heart. She was dedicated to her community and was instrumental in the creation of Fargo’s Native American Commission and she served on the Commission and was a champion for Native American residents. I want to offer my condolences to Jaclyn’s family and friends. She will be greatly missed. For those able to attend, her funeral service will be held on December 1 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fiddler's Hall in Belcourt. A visitation will be held December 2 at 8 a.m. at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Belcourt.
