Kirby Lee Guilfoil went home to the Lord on Dec. 15, 2024. Kirby lived a short but full life, leaving behind a legacy of love, devotion, and cherished memories.
Kirby was born on Dec. 5, 1983, to Brenda Guilfoil in Dover and was a lifelong resident of Felton. She loved laughing and spending time with her family, friends, and her two dogs, Pickle and Pumpkin. She was known by all as someone that used her take-charge personality to help others. She was quick to coordinate activities, volunteer to help a friend, take on tasks that needed special attention, and keep everyone working together towards a common goal. She was an avid reader, enjoyed Legos, and was a beautiful singer. Her friends and family miss her dearly.
Kirby was a supervisor at Discover Bank in Greenwood, a place that would become a second home. During her seven years at the bank, she received numerous promotions and awards including the Pinnacle of Excellence Award. She enjoyed interacting with customers and was an honorary member of the Greenwood community where she volunteered to support the town mural and led the bank’s participation in the Christmas parade.
Kirby was a graduate of Polytech High School and was pursuing her bachelor’s degree at Wilmington University. She attended Calvary Wesleyan Church and was a former member of the Delaware Choir Society.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents Allen and Janet Patterson. Kirby is survived by her devoted mother, Brenda Guilfoil, her best friend Jen (Mike) Rockwell and her children Paul (PJ) and Sarah that Kirby loved dearly, her Discover family and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.
In accordance with Kirby’s wishes, she will be laid to rest with her Mommom and Poppop Patterson at Odd Fellows cemetery in Harrington. Services will be held on Friday, Dec. 20 at 1 p.m. at Pippin Funeral Home in Camden Wyoming, Delaware. Her friends and family celebrate the extraordinary life she lived and the countless lives she touched during her 41 years. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
