Darcy, 56, passed away on the evening of July 2, 2013 at her home near Invermere.

Darcy was a dedicated mother to her son’s Sean & Reid Kupchanko and a loving wife for 27 years to husband Dean Kupchanko.

Darcy was a kind and caring person who had great talent for arts, including her favourites; gardening and decorating. She had an eye for design that was obvious in everything she did from renovating our house to the way she dressed, always a class act.

Darcy loved her family dearly; she loved nature, birds, her massive garden, tending to her pond and enjoying time with her soul mate Dean. She loved to travel, as we did often, but most of all she loved to come home. Darcy was extremely proud of her son’s and especially fond of her daughter-in-law Catherine.

Throughout her 7 month fight with cancer she never complained and never felt sorry for herself. She had amazing strength.

Darcy will be sadly missed but never forgotten. We will love her always.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the palliative home care unit at the Invermere hospital.
