She is predeceased by her parents Jean and Roy, brother Wayne and nephew Joey.
Diane is lovingly missed already by soulmate Ann, sister Sandra, brothers Charles ( Nanci), Les (Heidi) and many nieces and nephews. Also left to cherish her memory is our shared family Beryl (Art), Gerry (Betty), John (Mary) Margaret (Doug) and special nieces and nephews in Canada and New Zeland.
Born in Winnipeg, Diane grew up in South Transcona. She was a Class of ’67 Grace grad and became a compassionate and skilled acute care nurse, touching many lives in her career.
Incredibly generous of heart and spirit and an advocate of social equality, Diane was a master problem solver, a voice of reason, patient, with a sense of humour, an adventurous spirit and a love of all things nature – especially our Fort Richmond back garden.
Among her myriad of interests was an eclectic taste in music, Coronation Street, the theatre, playing baseball and hockey as a girl, canoeing, sailing, travel in England, Europe and Hawaii, history and geography. ( the atlas was well worn!!)
Her creativity included woodworking, fine needlework, watercolours, poetry, photography and the art of list making!
She made the most of every day and lived her life well. Good night – God Bless.
Please join us in celebrating Diane’s life at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday May 20 at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard with reception to follow.
If so desired, donations may be made in Diane’s memory to Amnesty International: 312 Laurier Boulevard, Ottawa Ontario, K1N 1H9 or The Winnipeg Humane Society: 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg MB R3T 0R3
