She will be deeply missed by many cousins, members of the extended family, and wonderful neighbors and friends. <br> <br>Personally, Diane was a kind, caring and loving person. Her family has always been her priority and she will be missed terribly. She was fortunate to retire early and find great friends in the figure skating community in the west island where she remained an active figure skater until December 2023. She was also passionate about following professional figure skating, caring for animals, her home and her garden. <br> <br>The family will hold a Celebration of Life on August 4, 2024 at 10:30 at Rideau Funeral Home, located at 4275 Sources Boulevard, Dollard-des-Ormeaux (Quebec) H9B 2A6 followed by short reception.
