Diane was born & raised in the Comeauville area and was the oldest girl of a family of 16. In her late teens she met and married Harold Simms Jr and subsequently moved and raised a family in the Marshalltown area. For many years Diane was a loving housewife and mother to her two sons. As the wife of a farmer, fishermen and woodsman her life was sometimes difficult and full of challenges but her loving and easygoing nature always inspired the people around her.
In her thirties Diane moved to the Toronto area where she ultimately made a life with her new husband Joseph McGowan. After many years in the Toronto area in 2014 both Diane and Joseph decided to retire back in Nova Scotia and settled in the Cornwallis area until his passing Dec 2018.
Diane was a lovely nonjudgmental person who was easily loved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed by all.
