Daphne Charlesworth Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from Dec. 11 to Dec. 12, 2008.
CHARLESWORTH Daphne Lyla (nee Allen) Passed away peacefully on December 7, 2008 in her 89th year. She is survived by her loving and proud children: Diana (Stephen), Jim, Laurie (Rock), and Gerry (Wendy), and son-in-law, Kevin. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren: Jeff (Patty), James (Seonaid), Shannon (Trey), Dan (Jodi), Jenny, Christie, and Scott and six great-grandchildren. Daphne was predeceased by her loving husband of 55 years, Barrie, in 1998 and daughter, Cathy, in 1951. She is sorely missed by her devoted canine companion, Chilly. Daphne was born in Bassano, Alberta and moved to Vancouver as a young child. For 48 years, she was a resident of West Vancouver, where she loved the ocean, her garden, her books and her dogs. Her home was often a welcome refuge to needy animals. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude for the many years of friendship given to Daphne, and our family, by Dr. Les Janz. Funeral services will be held on Monday, December 15th at 1 :00 pm, at St. Paul's Anglican Church, 1130 Jervis St., Vancouver. Parking at Super Value on Davie St. between Pendrell and Bute. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be sent to Animal Advocates, Box 114, 103 - 1075 Marine Drive, North Vancouver, BC, V7P 3T6.

To Laurie and family,

I can't tell you what your mom meant to me. All the times she cared for me when my father was ill. All the times she babysat me and some of you did as well. I've never forgotten her grace and her kindness or all the many hours I spent in that wonderful kitchen in West Vancouver.

Thank you so much Laurie for bringing Auntie Daphne to my mothers service in March, It truly meant so much and I appreciate it so much.

Unfortunatley, I'm unable to make it today, because of the severe weather has caused a problem on my property that is critical and dangerous or else I would be there.

My thoughts are with all of you today.

Diane (Boo), Jim, Laurie and Gerry (Buzzer)...

Your mom and family were an important part of our youth and life. Mom (Dorothy) remembers that Saturday night was not Saturday without planning a party with Daphne. Many fond memories.
