Obituary: Kincaid, Delayne
Although we miss her and continue to cherish our memories of her, we are comforted knowing she joins many loved ones who have gone before and are grateful that she is now at peace.
Born December 29th, 1956 in Spokane, WA, DeLayne was a bright soul who filled the room with her wonderful laugh, gregarious personality and compassion for all those around her.
This often included strangers on the elevator, patients as they walked into the medical offices where she worked, and many others with whom she shared the casual exchanges of daily life.
All these moments were made more personal with a heartfelt comment and smile from DeLayne.
Her greatest joys were her beautiful daughter, Leah (Kincaid) Heimbigner, and her two grandchildren whom she showered with love and affection, Nash and Reva.
Leah and her husband Kurt were constants in her life and love.
DeLayne was preceded in death by her father, James F. Kincaid.
She is survived by her mother, Nan Kincaid (Dwite); sister, Jan Kincaid (Art); brother, Curtis Kincaid (Marilee) and nephews Curtis, Josh and Luke; Leah’s father, Dan Black Sr. (Janie); and step-children Dan Black Jr. (Molly), Jada (Black) Shoemaker and Dylan Black, and their families.
She also leaves behind a very dear circle of friends, many of whom she has known since she was a young girl.
DeLayne began her career in the medical field as a part-time receptionist while in high school.
After graduating, she continued to work in the medical office setting, managing the office for Associated Family Physicians.
She eventually became the office manager for Dr. Robert Cooper and Plastic Surgery Northwest.
In her 25-year tenure there she formed strong bonds with Dr. Cooper and many of her co-workers.
Her family thanks all of the many friends, colleagues, and others who offered their love, support, hugs and tears over the past few months as she battled the illness which took her too quickly from us.
We fill the emptiness we feel from her loss with the wonderful memories and love she gave us throughout the 58 years we were blessed to have her in our lives.
A celebration of DeLayne’s life will be held at the Heritage Funeral Home at 10 AM on Saturday, October 3rd.
In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a contribution to Hospice of Spokane.
