Obituary for Diane Elizabeth Marie Roberts
.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Diane Roberts on August 27, 2023, at Grace General Hospital, with family at her side.
Diane is survived by her husband Frank; son David Roberts and daughter Anne Marie Roberts (Brett); brothers Brian Jowett (Cheryl), Gordon Jowett (Kathy) and Barry Jowett; Aunt Marcia Jowett; nieces and nephews Lisa Jowett, Michelle Jowett, Lee Jowett, Michael Jowett (Aynsley); many cousins including Greg Jowett (Joy), Bruce Jowett (Cathy), Barbara Keith (Doug), Valerie Jowett (Pat), Douglas Jowett (Denise), Nicole Jowett-Schnell (Justin); Louise Letkeman (Jake), Bryanne Lavoie (Cory); Tami Campbell (Conan); Donna Spence.
Diane spent her early childhood on Moore Avenue, then Jubilee Avenue in Winnipeg, where she attended Lord Roberts Elementary School and Churchill High School going on to work at Eaton’s on Portage Avenue.
In 1972 she married Frank, her husband of 51 years. Together, they enjoyed choral singing, summers at the lake, and family ski trips. They resided in St. James where Diane found joy in gardening and leisurely walks around Bruce Park and Assiniboine Park, preferably in the company of family, friends, and a dog or two.
Diane cherished spending time with her children and extended family, maintaining strong connections and reminiscing together. She enjoyed travel and loved watching her classic movies from the 1940s and 1950s. Diane was an exceptional cook and baker, using her culinary gifts to express her love for others.
Throughout the years she attended church at St. James Anglican, St. Andrews Anglican and Elim Chapel. Diane had a deep faith and loved her time with bible study friends, learning and praying. Summers at the lake held a special place in her heart. She enjoyed kayaking, tending to flowers and observing the antics of wildlife. Diane was swimming, walking in the sunshine and riding in the boat just days before her passing.
Services will be held at Elim Chapel 546 Portage Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. Parking is in the rear. Please enter through the rear doors. Interment will follow at St James Anglican Cemetery, 525 Tylehurst Street.
