Obituary
Fitzsimons, Darlene – suddenly on Wed October 5, 2022 at her home in Georgetown. Beloved wife and best friend of Don for 55 years. Much loved mother of Tony and his wife Jennifer, Angela and grandmother to Zoe and Maija. Sister of Ken (Laura), and Ton (Marta); Aunt to many beloved nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Special friend to loved neighbours, Alison and John, and their family. A keen animal lover with her own pets over the years, and her grand doggie, Archie.
Darlene, professionally, was a teacher for many years in schools around the area. During and after her teaching career she volunteered with numerous organizations and donated her time and energy.
Darlene, along with Don, enjoyed travelling and have seen much of Europe, circumventing North America with their top down Mustang. Other travels include Iceland, Transatlantic cruising, Caribbean holidays, ski getaways, as well as local sailing in Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay. Last winter, a six week stay in the Azores with Don at a hideaway overlooking the sea. She was always curious of other cultures. Long time members of Oakville Yacht Squadron, making memories sailing, racing, various committees, and making life long friends, always treasured.
Always thinking of others, generous, and giving. Sentimental, caring, family focused, and always welcoming family and friends. She will be missed beyond measure.
