Diane was born in Winnipeg, June 1,1942, and lived in Norwood, East Kildonan, Birdshill-Burton Avenue, Leighton Avenue, then, after many years, back to Henderson Hwy.

She worked at several jobs before starting her career with the Federal Government, where she spent 30 years in various positions. She loved to travel and loved her trip to Victoria and the Island. due to health issues, never got a chance to further enjoy.

A paramedic told me how Mum was a trooper, after I told him she had fought breast cancer, several heart attacks, dementia, and cancer again. I know my Mum was a fighter, she fought a long, hard battle, and now she is at peace. I am so grateful to have been with her, and she wasn’t alone at the end.
