She leaves behind her loving husband of 48 years, Mike Lalonde, their children Lauren and Bradley, and their grandpuppy Jax.
She was the daughter of the late Gordon Graham and the late Thérèse Graham (née Samson). She was the “matriarch” to her cherished siblings Janet Lapins (late David), Sandra White (late James), Ron Graham (France Bourget), and Marc Graham (Cindy).
Diane spent her work life helping others as a therapist in the psychology department of the General Hospital, teaching students and coordinating two programs at the St. Lawrence College, and, in retirement, fundraising for the St. Joseph’s Villa. She was an avid card player and golfer, enjoyed traveling, and always gave the best advice. Her immense heart will be greatly missed.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 13th, 2026, at the Cornwall Knights of Columbus Hall from 1:30pm to 4:00pm.
Memorial donations can be made to the Heart Institute of Ottawa.
