Alice “Diane” Williams, 76, New Glasgow, passed away peacefully in the home she was raised, on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 14, 2023, surrounded by her family.

Diane loved people and was affectionately known by many as “momma Di”, “aunt Di” or “nanny Di”. She was a very kind and hospitable person, who enjoyed sharing all she had with others. She daily told Bill how much she loved him and that she thanked God for having had him in her life for over 56 years. Diane experienced fulfilment when her “pride and joy”, Sonya, was born, and they shared a special bond until her passing. She was very proud of her granddaughter, Savana and was extremely happy to have become “GG” to her “darlings”, Brayden, and Dakota. Diane will be lovingly remembered for her “gift of gab” and her “heart of gold”.
