April 27, 1936 — July 28, 2023

On July 28, 2023 (Verna) Darlene Handschuh (nee Lindburg) went to be with her Lord and Saviour.

Darlene is survived by her husband of 67 years, Jim, her children, Joy, Darren and Ken and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her daughter Carla.

Darlene loved to be with her family. She enjoyed hosting dinners for friends and family and she brought her mom, aunt and brother into her home to care for them in their times of need. Her chocolate chip cookies were a favourite of all and she enjoyed a wonderful sense of humour. She was a woman of faith and her love of animals was unrivalled as she worked with the Kamloops Humane Society for many years. She never uttered a harsh word about anyone and showed her love to friends, family and strangers alike.

Born in Alberta on April 27, 1936, Darlene spent most of her life in Kamloops where she raised her family and helped run the family business, Hillside Nursery. A celebration of life will be held at a date to be announced.

You may offer a message of condolence at First Memorial Funeral Services Kamloops for the Handschuh family.
