Dianne was a wonderful mother and grandmother who worked diligently caring for her family at all times. She loved to camp, fish, garden, do crafts, sing and play instruments. She also attended her grandchildren’s sporting events whether it was hockey or horseback riding, but most of all she loved to cook for her family, especially bringing them together for Sunday supper.
With strength and dignity Dianne fought a two year battle of cancer. She will be sadly missed by all of her family and friends.
