Brodie, Mary 'Darlene'

Mary ‘Darlene’ Brodie passed peacefully at ‘PeopleCare’ Nursing Home in Meaford on January 13, 2025 in her 79th year.

Darlene is a beloved soul who touched many lives. She will be dearly missed by her children Kimberly Brodie (Michel Lortie), Troy Brodie, Kanduce Ruhl and will be a forever remembered nanny to Sierrah Ruhl.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Jack Brodie on February 1, 2015.

Darlene was born May 28, 1946 to Lloyd and Anne (nee Wonch) Thompson in Markdale, Ontario.

For 13 years Darlene worked as a PSW, starting at the Meaford Nursing Home and eventually Erinrung Nursing Home before she retired.

In her free time Darlene loved watching the Blue Jay’s play baseball and even got to see a game in person, she loved going for coffee with her friends and attending classic car shows.

We will forever miss and love our Mother, Nanny and Best-friend.

    To Kim, Troy, Candice & Sierrah.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
    Darlene was a kind and fun-loving soul. Her love for her family and friends was non-stop.
    I am blessed to have known Darlene. My memories date back to when I babysat for her and Jack and I am happy that my last memory is of Darlene and I enjoying some laughs just three weeks ago.
    Rest peacefully now my friend, as you reunite with Jack.

    Shocked to hear of Darlene’s passing… it’s been many years since she worked at Meaford nursing home and I really haven’t seen much of her. Just wanted to tell you there were many of us coworkers that thought a lot of Darlene. She was very patient and gentle with our residents. Thinking of her family.

    Our sincere condolences to Darlene’s family on her passing. Though we lived in the same neighborhood for years, we became far more acquainted with Jack and Darlene through Cruise Nights and Car Shows, especially in Walters Falls and Bognor were everyone sat together and shared a lot of stories and just enjoying good old fun being together. Family and friends, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
