Darlene Fuhr Obituary
FUHR, Darlene After a brief but courageous battle with cancer, Darlene Fuhr passed away on Thursday, March 11, 2010 in Victoria, BC. By her side was her husband of 32 years, Ron Fuhr and close friend, Paula Warda. Darlene Judith Franklin was born on April 24, 1955 to parents, Alvin and Marie Franklin, of Rivers, Manitoba. Darlene lived on the family farm south of Rivers with her parents, older brother, Doug and younger brother, Donald Joe". She attended school and graduated from Elton Collegiate. Darlene began her work in the banking industry, which was where she would spend the bulk of her career. In 1977 she married the love of her life, Ron Fuhr, and the two settled in Brandon. They moved between Brandon and Winnipeg before eventually settling on Vancouver Island where Darlene would spend many happy years. She worked with the Bank of Montreal and retired after 28 years of dedicated service in 2006. Darlene spent many enjoyable days with her `banking girls' and made several life-long friends she cherished so much. After her retirement from B.M.O., Darlene decided to keep busy by working part-time at The Market on Millstream where she thoroughly enjoyed herself. Darlene and Ron were fortunate enough to be able to go on several bus trips with friends to cities across the United States, and she was always so excited to see something new and meet people along the way. Darlene was a woman who changed the lives of those she knew, and we are all better people for knowing her. Hers was a light that shone brightly over us all, and today that light has gone out. Darlene is survived by her husband, Ron; father, Alvin; and brothers, Doug and Joe. She is predeceased by her mother, Marie. Darlene will be sadly missed by nieces, nephews and countless friends and family. A memorial service will be held at McCALL BROS. FLORAL CHAPEL, Johnson and Vancouver Streets in Victoria, BC on Friday, March 19, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. A memorial service will also be held in Brandon at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Darlene's name can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com . You are gone, but not forgotten Your life was much too swift We miss you but we remember It was you that was our gift 582050

I worked with her for a number of years at BMO Main Office and she always created a bright spot in my day with her clever wit and and never ending optimism.
