Darline Smith

Our vivacious, loving mother, born in Oak Bay 95 years ago, found peace with her angels. She was the youngest daughter of Arthur and Janet Evans and last grandchild of John Newell and Mary Jane Evans, pioneers of the Cowichan Valley. Predeceased by her second husband Fred, siblings Lorna, Esther, Albie, Muriel and Harry, and youngest son Orin. She worked three decades for Pacific Coach Lines in Victoria, travelled extensively and enjoyed life to the fullest with a sparkling vibrancy that remained with her always. Her beautiful smile will forever be in our memories; her enduring love kept close to our hearts.
