Iryna Filvarova
Iryna Filvarova, of Elkton, MD, passed away on Tuesday, July 7, 2020.
Born in Kemerovo, Russia, she was the daughter of the late Genrikh Filvarov and Olga Kochetkova. As an architect by profession, Iryna had an extremely creative mind and enjoyed expressing herself through it. She had a huge heart and love for all animals. Iryna was attentive and thoughtful to her pets and possessed an indescribable love for them. She enjoyed preparing creative meals for her friends and entertaining. Whenever it came time to make a toast or speech, Iryna always had the attention of the room with her genuine, loving words. She had the innate ability to capture the most inspiring photos. Iryna enjoyed creating things with her hands and could transform an ordinary object into a piece of art.
Iryna is survived by her loving husband of 25 years, Vitaliy Derbentsev of Elkton, MD; and her step daughter, Julia Khomenko.
All services will be held privately.

Dear Vitaliy:
I am probably the only person in US who remembers Irena as a young girl, a brilliant student of first the Art Studio at the Kiev Architectural Club and than the Kiev Art Institute and a funny, beautiful and creative person, full of exuberant life and promise. I am so sorry we did not see each other more often!
Misha and I hope your memories of her life and love will help you to overcome a pain of loss.
Fondly,
Elena

How many has this chasm already swallowed
Both young and old
The day will come when I will have to follow!
All those who left this world.
And all in me that struggled. sang and dared.
My voice that laughed and cried
Will disappear. like my golden hair
And hazel eyes.
Yet life will run the same. the days consisting
Of usual daily chores:
As if I never on this Earth existed.
As if I never was!
Impulsive as a child. incapable of holding
A grudge: I’d let it go!
Who loved to watch the logs in fire smolder
With final glow.
