With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Diane on January 27, 2026, at St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 85.
Diane lived a full and loving life, caring deeply for the people and animals around her. Her cherished dog, Layka, and the joy she brought to others were central to who she was.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 67 years, Fred; and their children, Cheryl, Tracey (Jim), and Craig (Deb). Diane was a proud grandmother to five grandchildren and great-grandmother to eight great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her tremendous joy.
She will be remembered for her warm heart and the happiness she shared with everyone she met.
In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place, and no formal service will be held.
A photo biography honouring Diane’s life is accessible through the 'tributes' link below.
