Dianne passed away peacefully with her family by her side after a long courageous battle with lung cancer at the age of 70 years.
She was predeceased by her parents Jennie and John Kurk of Canora, Saskatchewan and her brother Bill Kurk of Regina, Saskatchewan. Left to mourn Dianne’s passing are her sister Elsie Rusnak; son Kerry Chalus (Debbie) and children Kirkland and Jacob; daughter Kimberly Barisow (Dean) and children Avery and Ashton; son Kelly Chalus (Tracy) and children Justin (great-grandson Hunter), Cody, Jayden, Colton, Tysen, Andra (great-grandchildren Harper and Onyx) and Cadence; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.
Dianne always had a thirst for knowledge and a keen memory. She loved discussing politics, history, collecting postcards, was an avid fan of the Royal Family, John Wayne Classics and loved watching her CFL when the Saskatchewan Roughriders played. Dianne loved gardening, she found happiness right where she planted it. She had quite the green thumb and was one who could take almost anything and ensure it blossomed. She took pride in everything she did and always tracked her calendar so she would never forget an important date such as a birthday to pass on her love. Dianne will be greatly missed by many.
A Celebration of Dianne’s Life will be held on Friday, August 6, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Andrews Orthodox Church, Canora, Saskatchewan (2 KM east of Canora, Saskatchewan on Highway #5 will be the first church on the right)
In lieu of flowers, donations in Dianne’s memory may be made to Regina Wascana Grace Hospice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Dianne Shirley Chalus June 24th 2021..
