Diane passed suddenly. Diane was Kind, considerate, strong and very determined. Diane was a ray of sunshine in many lives. Refreshingly honest, funny, serious and practical. Diane talked about things most people wouldn’t even think of. Our lives didn’t really cross till recent years but we made up for lost time. Lots of messages and catchups for painting, sketching , books swimming and coffee.. Diane adored her husband and family especially her beautiful grandchildren. Diane loved travelling and her and Mark had some awesome adventures. She had lots of lovely stories . Diane could light up a room just by her presence. Love to the family and extended family. Goodbye my friend you will be missed xx

My sincere condolences to Mark and all Dianne’s family. She was incredibly proud of you all. I first met Dianne through work, but over the years we became firm friends as well as colleagues. As two old nurses together we had shared adventures and lots of laughs. Nevertheless, I had great respect for her professionalism, advocacy for the vulnerable, commitment and standing in the community. Dianne had a very strong faith and her serene acceptance of her illness was inspirational. Rest easy in the arms of Our Lord, dear friend. Arohanui. PS I’m missing our daily Wordle sharing!

Rest in peace knowing how loved you are by all your family and friends. We miss seeing you out for your walk.

To Mark & Family - so sorry for your loss, will miss our chats over the fence. Remember all the good times. Thinking of you at this sad time

Sending our sympathies to Mark, family and friends of Dianne. Until retirement Dianne worked to support whānau throughout South Taranaki communities. Colleagues still talk of Dianne’s spirit and strong advocacy for the whānau whom she walked alongside. May your family find peace and comfort by holding memories of you close. With condolences, Barnardos Taranaki
