Darlene Burdon

It is with deep sadness and much love that we share the sudden passing of Darlene Burdon on September 18, 2023 at the age of 68 years. She leaves behind her devoted partner of 23 years, Andy Daigle, and her heartbroken children, Bill Buick (Jennifer Paprica), Bonnie Jankowski (Lou), Crystale (Sonny), Norm, Debbie, Donna, Lisa, and Christine. Darlene's brother, Gary Burdon, was laid to rest in 2016, however his wife, Linda, joins Darlene's other siblings Clayton Burdon and Shauna Wheeler (Al) in deep sorrow at Darlene's passing.

Darlene's world revolved around her grandchildren: Maddie, Nathan, Austin, Scarlett, Hudson, Chip, Ben, Landon, Kiera, Laylaah and Mylo, who will all miss her dearly.

Darlene was known for her big heart and her fierce protection of those she loved. A champion for her kids, she single-handedly raised them with impressive strength and an abundance of love.

In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place. A gathering for friends and family to celebrate Darlene's was held November 19th, 2023.

In lieu of flowers, Darlene would want donations made to Down Syndrome Niagara on her behalf, a cause near and dear to her heart. https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/down-syndrome-caring-parents-
