It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Derilynn MacFarlane, who passed away on March 19, 2024, in Vernon, BC. Derilynn was born on September 10, 1957 in Calgary, AB. She resided in Calgary and surrounding area for most of her life but recently moved to Vernon, BC in 2022 to be closer to her family.
Derilynn was the second born child of Derry and Norma MacFarlane. Derilynn treasured her parents and she will be deeply missed by them both.
Despite enduring the loss of her older sister Denise in 1960, Derilynn cherished the bond she shared with her younger siblings: Derry, Darren, and Deanne. Their memories together formed a strong foundation of family love and support that sustained them throughout the years.
From her earliest days, Derilynn exuded joy and radiance, earning her the affectionate nickname 'Smiley' from many relatives. Throughout her life, her infectious laughter and warm spirit continued to uplift those around her. Her dad also fondly bestowed upon her the nickname 'Pookie,' adding another layer of endearment to her identity.
Derilynn's greatest source of pride and joy came from her role as a mother. She embraced motherhood with an unwavering love and devotion, finding fulfillment in nurturing her two beloved sons Christopher and Cory. Her heart overflowed with love when she became a grandmother, cherishing every moment spent with her grandchildren Alexus, Nolan, and Aaden.
Sadly, Derilynn recently had experienced profound sorrow with the loss of her son Cory, a pain that weighed heavily on her heart. We now hope they both find solace in their reunion and are together again.
Derilynn’s presence brought warmth and happiness to those fortunate enough to know her. Her memory will be cherished by all her extended family and friends, who will forever hold her dear in their hearts, remembering her genuine kindness, and unwavering love.
May she find eternal peace and be reunited with her loved ones who have gone before her, resting in the embrace of everlasting serenity.
A celebration of life will be planned and announced at a later date.
