Last night she had a sleepover with six of her closest friends. Diane has chosen medical assistance in dying , an option she took without hesitation after confirming a terminal cancer diagnosis.
She returned to Collingwood six weeks earlier than she planned, and the hip pain got worse, eventually confining her to one floor in her home, then to a bed. The cancer diagnosis came with a bleak prognosis: no cure. “I have been very clear about focusing on, did I leave a mark on this world that’s positive? Did I live a life well lived?” she said.
Diane grew up in Malton, a classic, everybody-knows-everybody small town. She enjoyed an iconic childhood, mostly outdoors, catching pollywogs at the pond, playing baseball at the sandlot, jumping rope, and skating in winter. “I have always felt grateful for my parents,” she said. “Having great parents gave me this amazing rock solid foundation … it allowed me to embellish more on who I was.”
Later in her career, after meeting other women in the same and similar industries, she started a women’s networking group called Ladies Laughing Loudly. The inaugural meeting was a birthday lunch that stretched into dinnertime. She is an extrovert and a people person who shows her love in the gifts she gives and the food she cooks. Her five-foot-ten frame helped her stand out in a crowd, and her personality brought life to a party.
