Peacefully on March 29, 2020 at the age of 71. Beloved wife of 42 years to Rodrigue (Rod) Thibodeau, cherished mother of Louise Soucy (nee Thibodeau), very proud and much loved Grandma of Haydn Soucy. Sister of Paul Lacelle and Normand Lacelle (Louise). Sister-in-law to Jean Guy (Steve), Donald (Cindy), James and David (Kelly). Dear aunt to many nephews and nieces. Predeceased by her parents Wilfrid Lacelle and Cecile Lacelle (nee Lalonde).
She will be remembered by numerous friends from around the world made in the course of her travels and military moves to Lahr (Germany) and Paris (France). We will always remember your strength, beautiful smile, kind and generous heart, and infectious laugh.
Our deepest thanks to the staff at the Elizabeth Bruyere Residence for the exceptional care she received. A memorial service will be held at a later date with interment of her cremated remains at the National Military Cemetery on the grounds of Beechwood. In memoriam donations to your local food bank to ease the strain caused by COVID-19 would be appreciated.

Monique pour la famille Gauthier (Richard et Mahotia)
Quelle belle photo de notre chère Diane. Mahotia et moi sommes de tout coeur avec vous pour cette période difficile. Nous avons de très bons souvenirs de notre voyage à Paris chez vous. C'est difficile de perdre un être cher, mais elle restera toujours dans nos coeurs et notre bon souvenir. Nous pensons à vous très fort.

Diane you've left uf too soon. Life threw a lot of challenges at you and you've always succeeded. This last one was a little too hard for you to succeed however, you've left some very strong persons behind. A great husband and a lovely daughter. You've left them the strength to carry on and know that they will as you'll be taking care of them from above. Rod and Louise, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Grieve but know what Diane would want you to do, carry on with the same positive attitude that she kept through her years in this world. May God bless you two and your entire families.
