Nirmal Singh

This is the story of S. Nirmal. S. Virk. He was an amazing, wonderful man who was loved, is missed, and
will always be cherished. Nirmal’s story started on April 14 th ,1947 in Sheikhupura, Pakistan where he
was born to S. Anoop Singh Virk and Mrs. Amar Kaur Virk. After the partition in 1947 he moved to village
Sonkra in Haryana with his parents and then later to Delhi where he spent his childhood, grew up and
made many lifelong friends. He completed his education in Delhi. He enjoyed his life to the fullest and
the wonderful memories he made with his brother and three sisters are cherished by all.
On June 28th, 1971, he married Mrs. Darshan Kaur Virk and together they had a wonderful happy
married life and had four children who were adored by him. He was a devoted husband, a loving, doting
father and above all a great human being. He migrated to Canada in 2010 to join his children and
grandchildren who brought the most joy to him. He was always there for his children, his friends and
family and helped them through their ups and downs and taught them to enjoy very moment life has to
offer. He suffered from medical ailments which impacted his life, but he fought against all the odds and
never let any obstacles deter him. He was strong willed, friendly, caring and dedicated to his friends and
family. Every day he would chant path, do ardas and practiced the teachings in his life and taught his
children and grandchildren the same values.
He was so adaptive to all the changes in his life and his resilience and determination was inspiring. His
unconditional love for his siblings, his friends, his children, grandchildren, his entire family is cherished
and revered. We feel blessed and privileged for his presence in our life. On July 27,2022 he left us all for
his heavenly abode. We miss him so much and will cherish his memories.
And the story lives on….

Mary Lynn Dunn

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Mary Lynn Dunn on July 20, 2022 at the age of 73. Mary Lynn passed away in the loving care of family and staff at Skypointe Hospice in Calgary, AB.

Mary Lynn (Marybaby) is survived by her sister Patt Johnson (Hawaii) and brother James Dunn (Calgary). As well as her brother and sister, Mary Lynn will be sorely missed by Craig (brother in law), Jane (sister in law), Molly (niece and family), Jeff and David (nephews and family) and Colleen (one of many friends).

Mary Lynn has always been a very positive and thoughtful person with a great sense of humour.  She was always interested in getting to know people and listening to their stories. Mary Lynn’s favorite show was “The Young and Restless”. She could discuss the characters and story lines at great length!

Mary Lynn was also a fighter.  A kidney transplant over 16 years ago, enabled her to carry on with her life and she made the most of it. A special thanks goes out to Hope Homes where she thrived for many years after her kidney transplant.  She made many friends there and was a big part of the social fabric at the home.

The family thanks Dr. Lauren Zanussi, Dr. Jodi Steininger, the Renal Clinic at the Foothills Hospital and the many other caregivers that greatly contributed to the quality and longevity of Mary Lynn’s life.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Any tributes if desired can be made to Hope Homes or a charity of your choice.
