Diane retired in 2007 from Spruce Grove Cleaners and was formerly employed with Lingley Printing Co. for 30 years. Diane was a hardworking, kind hearted woman who took each day as it came. She enjoyed spending time with her family, trailering, crocheting and watching her favourite TV shows. She was also an avid cat collector, especially the ones in her neighbourhood! She loved anything and everything that had to do with cats and kittens.
