Diane WATERS Obituary

Diane was such a lovely lady, so kind and generous and always had the best outlook on life. She was a lovely lady to have in our salon she could talk to you about almost anything. Super down to earth and very interested in what´s been going on within the last 7 weeks between appointments. She will truly be missed

Diane, Thank you so much for being one of the nicest, most respectful & considerate ladies I worked for during my Housekeeping days. Peggy Wood

Dear Brian, Kate, Stuart and family, Sincerest sympathy to you all. How sad it is that we have had to farewell our special "Lady Di." It was an absolute honour and privilege to work with Di for many years at PN Hospital Pharmacy, and to get to know you all as her treasured family. Di was an absolutely wonderful colleague, workmate, team member, and friend. She was a Pharmacy Assistant "par excellence." She brightened everybody's workdays and was meticulous, trustworthy, and thorough. Containers and the sterile water tank were cleaned to protocol, ward shelves were tidied, stock ordered and picked, then put away in strict rotation. The scary computer was tamed and used efficiently as part of the task. We all smiled one day when she admitted she had absentmindedly found herself tidying the shelf in a supermarket and arranging bottles in order of expiry dates. We had such fun with shouts and dress-up days, but everything was proudly professional. In retirement it was super to catch up occasionally at cafes in town, but devastating to see the progression of her illness. She was always cheerful and struggled bravely and positively on. She remained as always an inspiration. Di has been a special part of my life and will stay on in happy memories. Rest in Peace lovely Di and thank you for everything and all your loyal support. Every Blessing to you Brian and our Love,
Barbara O'Driscoll (Retired Chief Pharmacist PNH), and Bob

To Brian & family,
We are feeling so sorry for you all in your loss of Diane.
We always found her friendly, chatty, & really a lovely person to be around.
We know she will be deeply missed by you all, & those who knew her well.
Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Our kindest regards,
Margaret & Peter Claridge.

Di was one of Mums best friends. She had a wonderful sense of humour and she was great with people. As kids we often visited Di, Brian, Kate and Stu and had many laughs. Later on I worked with Di in the hospital. She was a very caring colleague and worker and she also had a great way of enjoying work and keeping everybody socially lubricated.

Di and Brian made it 12,000 miles across the planet to our washed out wedding in Connemara, Ireland. They had great fun with the locals..man or dog in the local pubs. Di will be sorely missed by all the Kidds in Kinvara, Co Galway , Ireland

Much Love

Pete, Joanne, Anna, Tom, Kate, Niamh and Sarah. We are sorry for your loss. A wonderful mother, woman and person.

Farewell cherished friend...

To Brian , Stuy and family. So sorry to hear the loss of Di. I have know you guys for such a very long time. Saty strong for each other

Brian, Kate, Stu, Margaret & families,
My friendship with Di goes back almost 50 years, we were in contact weekly and had a special friendship.
I particularly admired Di for her generosity of time for others even though her health was not the best.
Coming to terms with Di´s passing is difficult, however, she has surely earned her rest and we will continue to cherish our special memories of time spent with her.
Sincere condolences to you all.
Love Ann Boniface xx
