Mother was born to Carolina and Henry Anderson in Kimball, Minnesota, 100 years ago last June. The family moved to Anacortes, Washington when she was three, where mother matured as a pretty, blonde, blue-eyed Swede. Graduating from Anacortes High School, she moved to Seattle to begin a life-long vocation as a seamstress. She met and married James Christopher Darcy and together they raised their Swedish/Irish children, James, Kenneth and Carolyn. Mother gave us her caring respect for others and taught us to always be considerate of other people’s feelings. Many referred to her as a “sweetheart”.
Mother has gone to Heaven to join her husband, “Chris”, parents, siblings; Helen, Alice, Ernest and Herman and many other relatives and friends. She is survived by her three children, Ken’s wife Julie, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
