It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Diane Jolivet on October 26, 2024, at the age of 70 in Kitchener, Ontario. A cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Diane's warmth and kindness touched the lives of everyone she encountered.
Born in Warwick, Quebec, Diane spent many happy years in Elliot Lake and Chapleau before retiring in Kitchener. Her life was marked by love, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to her family. She shared a beautiful 50-year marriage with her devoted husband, Gilles, together creating a lifetime of treasured memories.
Diane was the proud mother of one son, Denis (Wendy) Jolivet, and two daughters, Nancy (Patrick) Mailloux and Vicky (Arliss) Osawamick. She took immense joy in her six grandchildren-one of whom sadly predeceased her-and her three great-grandchildren, with another on the way. Each of them brought her endless pride and happiness. Diane is also survived by her younger twin brothers and sister.
Diane often expressed gratitude for the friends and loved ones she made while living on Capitol Hill in Kitchener. Her gentle spirit, infectious laughter, and compassionate heart will be profoundly missed by all who knew her. She had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel special and loved, and her legacy of kindness will endure in the hearts of her family and friends.
A celebration of her life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, Diane requested that donations be made to Hospice Wellington in Guelph, Ontario, in recognition of the extraordinary compassion and care she received.
Rest in peace, dear Mom. You will forever be in our hearts.
