DARLENE HRANAC August 11, 1937 – December 1, 2025 It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Darlene Hranac (nee Dancoisne), loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and dear friend to many. Darlene left us on Monday, December 1, 2025, at the age of 88 years.
It is with certainty that Darlene sends a special message to the numerous people in her life, both before and during her illness with Alzheimer’s Disease, who have unselfishly shared their gift of love, support and time whether in moments of health or unwellness. A heartfelt thank you from the family to all those who were a part of her very fulfilled life.
Darlene has now joined her beloved husband and best friend Ed, her daughter Starlie Anne, her parents Helen and Glen Dancoisne, and her siblings Lorna Cannon and Robert Dancoisne.
Darlene leaves to mourn and honour her memory her surviving children and their immediate and extended families of Mark (Kelly), Stephanie (Franco), and Kim (Don), plus her surviving brother Dave (Carol), and extended families.
Darlene will also be deeply missed by her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friendships that she cherished over many years. She was fortunate to be loved by so many.
A very special thank you to the compassionate staff at Swan Evergreen Village, Providence Care Centre and Health Care Team Unit 36 at the Foothills Hospital, all of Calgary, Alberta.
