PETTITT, Dianne (nee White) – It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mom, Dianne Ida Pettitt, on February 6th, 2020 at the age of 81. With family by her side, Dianne passed away peacefully at Scarborough Grace Hospital.

Dianne was born in Toronto on August 20, 1938 to Ina Elizabeth White (nee Bell) and James Couper White. Dianne is now reunited with her loving husband Ronald Samuel Pettitt and the many other loved ones who passed before her including her parents, In-laws, dear sister Jeannette Orrisson and loving brother James White.

Forever missed and lovingly remembered by her children Philip Christopher, Kelly Ann (Kimmy) and Timothy Glenn (Lindsay), sister Lynn White-Tarr, sister-in-law Arlene McCombs, grandchildren Jaime, Chelsea, Ashley, Jack, Hailey and Blake as well as her nieces and nephews, Charles Jr., Carter, John, Mark, Nicole, Colette, Heather, Eric and Lisa.

Our Mom was kind, caring, gentle, compassionate, loyal and spiritual. Mom loved with all her heart and will be most remembered for her boundless love of family, friends and dogs. Mom was also a courageous breast cancer survivor. Our family would like to sincerely thank the medical team at Scarborough Grace Hospital for the thoughtful care our Mom received. Our family felt truly supported by the caring nursing teams in Units 3D and 4C and the empathetic medical attention of Dr. Amin, Dr. Keen and Dr. Marcus.
