Diane was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, then moved with her family at the age of eleven to Kelowna.
Diane was predeceased by her father Harold Ruff, mother Lillian and stepmom Grace.
Diane is leaving behind Vic, the love of her life for 55 years; two daughters Nichole (Derrick-Deceased) , Michelle (Eric).
Grandchildren Kyra, Lyndon, Hailey, and Alexis. She is also survived by two sisters Carol (Cal), Sue (Bob) and brother Glen (Marrion) and many many friends.
Her passion early on (15) was being a florist. That passion stayed with her all her life working with different florist shops that could allow her to be a loving mother and wife.
Diane and Vic married when she was eighteen and they started a life together. They worked hard together during the early years, building fifteen houses together beside their other jobs so that later in life they could do their other passion for travelling. She saw a lot of the world, cruises, camping, road travel and found a love for golf, mainly for the friends that came with it.
She was also an avid quilter for most of her life, many quilts and again many more friends.
She is also leaving behind a beautiful legacy of Love, creativity and adventure. Diane delighted in sharing her many talents with those she loved, creating lasting memories through her cooking, sewing and exquisite floral designs.
Diane will be missed more than words can say.
