She always looked forward to her annual trips to British Columbia and Washington State to visit her extended family as well as the numerous trips to Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. The family would like to extend a special thanks to her close childhood friend Debbie Harpley. We know Dianne cherished her time with you and want to thank you for all your support to her and our family during this time. Dianne worked for MTS for over 25 years and spent many years volunteering with the Girl Guides. Dianne also enjoyed participating in sports. Most recently, she enjoyed curling up to three nights a week and watching her grandkids play hockey. She was a loving person who was always positive and always went out of her way to help others.

Maureen, Wayne and Family: I am deeply saddened by Dianne's passing and the rocky path she had to travel this past year. I cherish the phone conversation we had 2 weeks before she passed. Our times together as kids in Vancouver at Auntie Mildred's and then at family gatherings for Auntie's milestone birthdays will be close in my heart. She was a warm and compassionate woman of many talents. The family and extended family will feel the void that cannot be filled. May her memories bring you comfort now and in the future. God Bless. - Posted by: Jo-Ann de Repentigny (Cousin) on: Oct 22, 2014

What a beautiful picture of you Dianne! Thank you for being so kind & compassionate towards me with my own fragrance issues; and for all of your help when I never knew what the heck I was doing at work! That company has lost a very hard worker. I guess someone had other plans for you; as you were taken far too soon. You were a very positive person pretty much all of the time and I know that your closest friends and family will miss you dearly. Condolences to your husband and children. Hopefully there is a curling rink where you're at! Keep on laughing, cause boy you had a great one! - Posted by: Susan (Co-worker) on: Oct 20, 2014

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to Wayne and Family. Dianne was a beautiful person with a heart of gold. I knew Dianne through Girl Guides and enjoyed volunteering with her. She would light up when she told stories of Wayne, their kids and grandchildren. - Posted by: Cheryl Patterson (Friend) on: Oct 20, 2014
