Darolyn Lee Theel

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the sudden passing of Darolyn Lee
Theel of Copalis Beach on 8 July, 2022 at the age of 48.

She will be lovingly remembered by her children; Jacob Colborn and Robert Thee and
Sierra Mishler, partner to Jacob who she viewed as her daughter; grandchildren Xaiver
and Ernest Colborn; sister's Angela Theel, Rhonda Barclay and Tiffany Emery; Aunt,
Erica Schlesser, Shawna, Haylee and Gunner Barclay, and Doc Holland; her father's
lifelong partner JanaDee Potvin and stepsisters' Stacey and Amanda Wilson; and
Numerous other family members and friends. She was the most self-less, caring friend
to all.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Glenna Danielson and Robert Theel.
Darolyn was a fierce woman-holding fast to her beliefs, defending those she loved, and
always seeking to better herself. She fought so hard her whole life, from Brain tumors to
breast cancer and continuously came out a survivor. Her strength was unparallel. She
had grown so much in the recent years and it truly is a tragedy she will not be here to
share her gifts with the world any longer.

She loved country living, loved collecting rocks and crystals from the riverbanks, and
smell goods as she called them. Her absolute favorite thing was spending time with her
grandchildren. Everywhere she went she would seek out turtles, for a turtle chest for her
first grandson, Xaiver. Out of everything she fought and conquered throughout her life,
her boys' where her utmost treasuer. Her eyes would light up just talking about them.
The energy she brought into any room was contagious and uplifting. She was kind,
generous and compassionate. Even when she spoke in anger, she was often the first to
apologize and to try to heal what was broken. She was fiercely independent and private
She loved her entire family, despite their quirks and dysfunction. She worried about
them, rooted for them, protected them, resented them, forgave them, and always kept
loving them.

A celebration of life or memorial service will be held at a later date.

The family wishes to spend special thanks to, Retired EMT, John P. Leising Jr. and
Steve Mon for their care and compassion.
