It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, nan, and wife, Darlene “Di” Heather Goodwin, on October 19, 2021, in Yarmouth Regional Hospital with her family by her side.
On July 20, 1956, in St. John, New Brunswick, the earth was graced with an enormously beautiful baby girl. Her parents, Florence and Donald Lambert raised a natural redhead with her heart on her sleeve and a fire in her soul. She carried that passion with her for her entire life—a true force to be reckoned with.
She met and fell in love with her soulmate, Frederick Lyle Goodwin, and they were wed on August 30, 1975. Mom’s entire life was devoted to raising her children, Lyle Wayne, Heather Joyce, Crystal Darlene, and Cathylee Dawn. But the apple of her eye was her only grandson, Alexander.
Darlene, or Pandy as she was affectionately known, is survived by her loving husband Fred; children, Lyle (Kerry) Crystal, Cathylee (Glendon) and her pride and joy, her grandson, Alexander (Sarah); brothers, Robert, Wayne, George; sisters, Brenda, and Lois; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was predeceased by a daughter, Heather; parents, Donald and Florence; sisters, Shannon and Wanda; sister-in-law, Phyllis. The legacy she leaves behind is untouchable as she truly is a legend.
Visitation will be held at Sweeny’s Funeral Home and Crematorium on Saturday, October 23, 2021, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A private family service will be held at a later date. Donations in memory of Mumma can be made to the Renal Dialysis Unit at the Yarmouth Regional Hospital or the 110 Royal Canadian Army Cadets.
The family wishes to thank the dialysis unit, nurses in the ICU, 3rd floor. Your kindness is appreciated.
