Surrounded by the love of her family, Diane passed away peacefully at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital on Thursday October 29th at the age of 74. She is survived by Stanley, her beloved husband of 56 years. Deeply missed by her children Mark (Nancy Keagan) Godzisz, Andy (Andrea Dower) Godzisz, and Joanne (Brad) Haines; her grandchildren Joshua and Stephanie Godzisz, Nora Godzisz, and Holly and Mya Haines; and her sisters Elizabeth (Danny) Novomestsky and Anna (Kazimierz) Miekina.
Diane will be remembered as a truly genuine person who was willing to help anyone. She was never afraid to take on challenges, which was proven early when she flew to Canada on her own at 15 years old, where she went on to graduate hair dressing school and eventually accept management positions in the jewellery and hospitality industries. She loved her family deeply and doted over her grandchildren, who will miss her incredible sewing, knitting and cooking skills. Diane could sew anything from clothes to repairs on patio umbrellas.
