Mrs. Patricia De Bruyne, who used to live in Delhi, passed away peacefully with her family by her side at the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in her 84th year. Patricia graduated from Alma College and started her teaching career, which she truly loved. She then spent many years farming tobacco alongside her husband, Andre; a period of her life filled with hard work, dedication, and a strong sense of pride in the life they built together. Patricia found great happiness in gardening, enjoying nature, and feeding the birds and squirrels. However, above all else, she treasured her family deeply and shared her whole heart and life with them; for this reason, she will always be fondly remembered. She took great pride in her family’s achievements and celebrated their successes with joy. Beloved wife of the late Andre De Bruyne (2019). Loving mother of Dwayne (Cynthia), Darryl (Sajia), and David (Nicole) De Bruyne. Cherished grandmother of Jenna Elsley (Josh), Kennedy De Bruyne (Cole), and Alissa De Bruyne (Will). Dear sister of Cheri Huyge (late Peter, 2022). Also survived by several nieces, nephews & cousins. Predeceased by her parents Katharine (Onifrichuk, 1997) and Nelles Arthur (2002). According to Patricia’s wishes, the family will honor her memory with a Private Celebration of Life followed by Inurnment in Delhi Cemetery. Memorial Donations to the Norfolk Haldimand Community Hospice or to a Charity of your Choice can be made through the MURPHY FUNERAL HOME, Delhi (519) 582-1290 (www. mfh. care) and would be greatly appreciated by the family.
