HOWELL, Diane Kathleen   - We are devastated to announce Diane’s passing on Thursday, May 13, 2021 after a short but intense battle with a rare and aggressive cancer.

Predeceased by her father William Howell, she will be sadly missed by her mother Kathleen Howell (nee Hindle), siblings Karen Howell, Alan Howell (Vicki) and Arlene Lyon (Reg).

She will also be missed by nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and her four-legged babies, Buster and Bella.

Diane leaves behind an extended family of uncles, aunts and many cousins.

She could discuss politics and current events as easily and knowledgeably as she could the latest baseball scores. Above all else, Diane loved her family and friends and was fiercely loyal and generous to those who were fortunate enough to have her be a part of their lives.

Diane had a final wish for her family and friends. She did not want to be a burden and she didn’t want people to be sad.

To honour her wishes, cremation has taken place and a memorial will be held at a future date to celebrate her life.
