It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Delphine Chapdelaine on January 20, 2022.
Del was born in North Battleford, SK and lived in the area until she was 13, then moved to Rossland. At the age of 17 Del met her cherished husband Norman and married in 1953. She had a long rewarding career working at Kootenay Soft Drinks until her retirement. A thoughtful and loving person she cherished her time with her two children Kevin and Karen and her grandchildren Nicole, Natasha, Colton and Cameron.
Starting as a hobby, Del and Norm began raising chinchillas which led to numerous awards. She enjoyed fishing, golfing, boating, camping and in retirement being a snow bird in Arizona. Square dancing was a passion of Del’s, she and Norm spent many hours practicing moves and enjoyed the travel and the company of her lifelong friends that she met through dance.
She is survived by her son Kevin (wife Margaret), sister Annette, and grandchildren, Nicole, Natasha, Colton and Cameron.
She was predeceased by husband Norman, daughter Karen, sister Helen and brother Kelly.
The family would like to give a special thanks to the staff at Rosewood.
