R.I.P. Dianne

We lost a nice lady this week - my Dad's partner Dianne. 

She was good for my dad and good to us, and had clearly lived a very interesting life full of adventure. We had just visited with them a few weeks ago, and true to form, Dianne was expressing her concern for my Dad's health. 

She will be missed.

Dianne Margaret Wickenden (née Stillman)

July 17, 1947 – November 21, 2023

Unexpectedly, at her home in Oro-Medonte on Tuesday, November 21st, 2023 at the age of 76 years. Beloved partner of Bruce Cole. Loving mother of Michael (Valeria), Kari (Mark) and Ryan. Proud grandmother of Jacqueline, Michael, Chris, Cameron, Abigail and great grandmother of Dexter. Dear sister of Robert (Susan). Will be missed by many extended family members and dear friends. Dianne was a vibrant and caring woman who loved the outdoors.  Whether it was fishing, horseback riding or spending time at the cabin in Renfrew, she was in her element when she was with nature.

In keeping with Dianne’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will occur in the future. Arrangements entrusted to the Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Home, 30 Worsley St., Barrie. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the OSPCA or an Animal Rescue charity of your choice.
