Diane Janette Oystreck (nee Homenchuk) passed away at age 74 on April 25, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. Diane was born at Yorkton on January 6, 1946 to Peter and Mary (Nee Wasylyshen) Homenchuk. Diane and her twin brother Don were the youngest of three with older brother Milt. At a very young age the family moved from the Rhein district to Yorkton, where she received her schooling. After graduation she completed an office administration course. She worked for Household Finance and the Yorkton Housing Authority. Diane met the love of her life when Mike Oystreck moved into her parent’s rental suite in the basement of their Yorkton home. They were married June 10, 1967 and were blessed with three daughters, Donna (1970), Sherry (1972) and Karen (1977). The family then moved to Rhein where Mike started working for UGG and Diane enjoyed staying home and raising the family. Baba Diane was well known for being a great cook and baker who loved to share with everyone. As soon as anyone showed up at the house she always felt the need to feed them. Mike and Diane were very lucky to travel all over with great friends and family. From hot holidays, fishing trips, sledding trips, weekends at Madge, family Disney trips and so many weekend getaways. In their early years they enjoyed many weekends attending sports days, watching Mike play ball, playing cards, and enjoying dances and outings with friends. When the kids were younger, summers were spent at the family cabin at Sunny Side Beach where many great memories were made skiing, boating and around camp fires. In recent years they enjoyed days on the deck at Lake of the Prairies, fishing on the river, enjoying great Rider games and the odd bevy with friends. Winter brought many sledding days and watching the grandchildren at the hockey or curling rink. Diane always enjoyed being around friends and family and being able to take care of everyone. She was known as baba to everyone. Her life revolved around her family, but more than anything her grandkids were her greatest joy.
Diane was predeceased by her parents, Peter and Mary Homenchuk; mother and father-in-law Tom and Martha Oystreck; twin brother Don, brother and sisters-in-law Edward Oystreck, Metro Oystreck, Bruce and Mary Allin and Lorne and Janice Krochak.
Diane is survived by her husband Mike; her children: Donna (Willie) Neumann, Sherry (Dallas) Harrison, and Karen (Randy) Blayone; six grandchildren: Riley, Tyson, Brody, Brandy, Staci and Marli and four great grandchildren: William, JJ, Hunter, and Hallie. Also a brother Milt and sisters-in-law Helen Oystreck and Lorraine Rudnisky, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and her many other relatives and friends.
