Diane Kathryn Olivier

She leaves to mourn her passing her son, Kevin; daughter Kerri-Anne (Trevor) Uruski and her 2 Grandchildren, Katarina and Anton Uruski. Also 2 sisters Lorraine Olynyk and Yvonne (Peter) Whitehouse, as well as sister and brother-in-laws and many nieces and nephews.

Diane was predeceased by her husband Alf (Alfie) Olivier in 2013 and her parents, Fred & Kathryn Kuxhaus.

Diane also had another “sister” and friend of 63 years, Linda Maternick. They met at 6 years of age and the friendship continued their whole lives. Thank you – Linda – my best friend.

Diane was born and raised in West Kildonan and started working at 17 years of age, met Alf and had a “dreams of” marriage, adding Kevin and Kerri-Anne to this wonderful household. She was so proud of them and their accomplishments in life.

Diane was a loving partner, caring Mother and a wonderful friend to anyone who was in her life. Alf and Diane had many wonderful and funny moments together and cherished each other. Diane loved being a Grandmother (Nanny) and taught her grandchildren how to use the phone and do “takeout”.

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Diane’s life will be held on Saturday, September 26th, 2015 at

10:00 am at Green Acres Funeral Home, # 1 Highway East at Navin Road.
