Diana passed away peacefully following an illness. Dearly loved wife of David, loved mum and mum-in-law of Sarah and Michael, and Matthew and Wayne. Diana was the cherished nanna of Eloise and Joseph, Kayleigh and George, and Rebecca and Harry, and was a proud great nanna of Isabelle, Emmeline, Nikolaj and Lily.

Diana will be fondly remembered for her contributions to local theatre, particularly the New Plymouth Repertory Theatre and Masterton's Harlequin Theatre. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends in England, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

A private cremation was held on Wednesday, 11 February.
