Darlene Gail Martin passed away peacefully with her family by her side in Kamloops on October 25th, 2018, aged 71 years.
Darlene was born on February 2, 1947 in Swan River, Manitoba. She married Gordon in 1969, living in Victoria and Nelson before coming to Kamloops in 1980. She will be dearly missed by her husband Gordon, daughters Cathy (Krista) of Abbotsford, Pamela (Norm) of Kamloops, Carla (Rob) of Kamloops, and grandchildren Andrew, Lauren, Ashley, Nolan, Lucas, Erin, Cruz and Nik. The eldest of seven, she leaves her sisters Marlene (Jim), Valerie (Murray), and Donna (John) and brothers Henry (Belinda), Brian (Barb), and Wray, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, and many friends.
Darlene dedicated her life to her family, always being there for her husband, children and grandchildren. She was actively involved in her daughters’ schools, sports and activities. She worked as a practical nurse, and after raising her girls, returned to work in a local doctor’s office until her retirement. Darlene was a devoted wife, and her and Gordon enjoyed skiing, Blazer games, walking, travel, and summers at the lake with their family and friends. Darlene set a tremendous example of kindness and thoughtfulness toward others. She was a role model to her children and grandchildren, and she was the love of Gordon’s life.
A memorial service will be held at Schoening Funeral Home November 25, 2018 at 11:00 am with close friend Reverend Ken Wall (Carla’s father in-law) officiating. Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice.
