<div itemprop="description">DARCI MARIE INSTANCE-LISKIE<br /><br />Darci Marie Instance-Liskie, April 23, 1988, of Winnipeg, passed away peacefully with her family at her side on Saturday, November 21, 2015 after a long and courageous battle with Cancer. <br /><br />Darci is survived by her beloved husband Ashton Liskie, her two dogs Chesney and Bentley, her Mom Connie, Dad Bruce (Denise), Brother Derek (Erica), Niece Ryan, Father in Law Gus Liskie and Mother in Law Donna Liskie, Grandparents Blanche and Dunc Davis, her many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and the countless number of friends Darci developed over 27 years of life.<br /><br />Darci is predeceased by her Granddad and Grandma, Fred and Joanne Instance, and her Uncle Randy Bilyk.<br />Darci from the time she was a young child had a stubbornness and a determination about her that wouldn&rsquo;t hold her back from doing whatever it is she wanted to. Darci played numerous sports, but most notably was involved in hockey. She started playing this game she came to love at the age of 7. She played her minor hockey in the Midland / North Winnipeg / St James areas. When Darci was 17 she was playing with the St James Canadians AA Midget team. This is where Darci encountered her first &ldquo;battle&rdquo;. She would not let this hold her back. The following year she moved into the MWJHL to continue her hockey career with the Polar Ice. She proceeded to play for 4 years with another &ldquo;battle&rdquo; interrupting part of one season. Once again she did not let this hold her back. She finished her playing career with multiple All Star appearances, a shared MVP of the Year award and numerous other accomplishments and accolades. Although her playing career ended, she loved the game of hockey so much, she continued to coach. Over the past three seasons Darci has coached her beloved Western Predators, last year leading them to the MWJHL Provincial Championship, League Championship and LG Tournament Championship. <br /><br />Darci took great pride in being able to give back to Pediatric Cancer when possible. One main highlight to this was being able to donate 16 I-Pads with protective cases from organizing a golf tournament. She also participated and raised money in many Relay for Life events. Darci had many other passions as well. She loved to travel, she loved to camp and she loved music, country music mostly!<br />Darci has left a large footprint on life. She has had the ability to meet and touch so many lives. Her positive attitude, courageousness, fight and love for life will live on with all who had the honour and privilege of being able to interact with her at least once.<br /><br />&quot;Darci, we all love you so much and this isn&rsquo;t goodbye, it&rsquo;s until we meet again!&quot;<br /><br />A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday November 27, 2015 @ 1:00 PM at the Church of Christ, 170 St. Mary's Road, Winnipeg, Manitoba.<br /><br />In lieu of flowers, donation can be made to Cancer Care Pediatrics or Make a Wish Foundation.<br /></div>
