It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Irma Gail Smythe on December 24th, 2020, in Surrey, BC. Irma is preceded in death by her adopted parents, Frank and Gladys Darby. She is survived by her sons, Joseph Smythe (Jadene) and Scott Smythe (Melissa). She is also survived by her birth mother, Grace, many sisters and brothers, as well as nieces and nephews in Brandon, MB.
Irma was born in Washington, USA, but raised in Delta, BC. She graduated high school at North Delta Secondary. Irma was a mother, a sister, a grandmother, a friend and a confidante to many. Her biggest joy in life was her six wonderful grandchildren: Jason, Savannah, Hannah, Annabelle, Joey Jr., and Lylah. Irma loved being with friends and family, and took great joy in listening to music, and dancing. She was a social butterfly. With her heart of gold, she lightened and brightened the days of everyone she came across.
She will be missed dearly. A funeral memorial will be held at a later date once health restrictions lighten.
