Marjorie Deborah (Debbie) Shypitka
1949 - 2017
Debbie passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 22, 2017 at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital
with her family by her side. She was born in Smiths Falls, Ontario and was one of nine children born to Barbara and
Archibald Graham.
Debbie was the beloved wife of Larry whom she
met in Ottawa, Ontario in 1968, married in 1969
and eventually settled in Cranbrook where they
spent 48 years together. They raised three children
who survive her: Rob (Ramona), John (Rhonda)
and Angye (Travis) along with eight grandchildren.
Also surviving her are one sister and four brothers
in Eastern Ontario and three brothers-in-law, Mel,
Gord and Mike in BC. Debbie was predeceased by
her parents, one sister, two brothers, father-in-law
and one brother in law.
To those that knew her, she will be fondly
remembered as a very caring and family oriented
person. We will all cherish the memory that Family
meant the most to her.
Debbie has been cremated and requested that
there be no funeral service. The family will gather
at a later date to hold a private celebration of her
life. Those wishing to remember her may do so by
making a donation to the charity or foundation of
choice. Condolences may be left for the family at
