DIANA ANDERSON (nee STAPLES) It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Diana Anderson at the Health Sciences Centre on November 27, 2005. Diana was born February 27, 1951 and grew up in St. James but called Transcona home. She is survived by and will forever be lovingly missed by her daughter Liana (Todd Middleton); son Lee McNish (Robin); son Kelly Anderson and grandchildren, Chantel, Daniel and Jordan Middleton. Diana cherished her longest and closest friendships, Jeannette Staples, Audrey and Kerri Steinke, Bill and Hilda Henry, Pat and Brian Middleton and Terri and Robert LaRochelle as well as nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. She was predeceased by her infant son, Jamie; her parents, Harold Staples and Florence McFadden and closet brother Gordon. Diana always said that her greatest joys and all that she ever needed in life were spending time with her children and grandchildren, taking pride in her home inside and out, and having her cherished pets, Bentley and Harold keep her company. Diana loved people and people loved her. She made many long time friends during her employment with Granada and Rent-all. A dream realized/achieved by Diana was becoming self-employed in the last year and the new friendships she gained with the clients she cleaned for. As well, she very much enjoyed being a tour guide for Carefree Getaways, a position that allowed her to do what she did best - talk and meet people. As per her wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held. If friends so desire, donations in her memory may be made to the Autism Society of Manitoba, 825 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB R3A 1M3 or to a charity of one's choice. Arrangements entrusted to: VOYAGE FUNERAL HOME CREMATORIUM 220 Hespeler @ Henderson Hwy. 668-3151
