Dianne was born on February 11, 1942 in Bengough, Saskatchewan. She grew up on the family farm near Ceylon, SK and her and her sisters attended school at Meadowview School at Hardy. Dianne raised her family in the Ceylon district until the early 70's, when she later moved to Regina, Edmonton, Bengough, and her final home in Milestone. She enjoyed playing cards, gardening, country music, singing, crafts, and having fun. Her greatest passion was in the kitchen; cooking, canning, and baking. Her apple pie was irresistible and there were always many jars of pickles around. Dianne was a hard worker all her life. She had different jobs throughout, but most of them were located in a kitchen somewhere in Alberta or Saskatchewan. She was loved dearly and will be greatly missed by all!
