DIANNE LYDIA ANDREW It is with great sadness that the Andrew family announces the sudden passing of Dianne Andrew at age 66 at Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg on January 30, 2015. Dianne was a special woman who deeply touched all of our lives. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Dianne is survived by her sons Curtis (Beverly), Wade, Mark, and daughter Brooke (Aldo) Salazar, brother Kevin (Gayle), Kris and Lindsay Kostyniuk, grandchildren Brianna, Cody, Cassidy, and Jessica. Also left to mourn her passing are her brother-in-law Hugh (Judy), sister-in-law Mary-Ellen (Len) Hogue and their families. She was predeceased by her loving husband of nearly 43 years Allan Andrew, parents Paul and Alexandra Kostyniuk and grandson Joshua Salazar. Dianne was devoted wholeheartedly to her family. She had a very strong bond with her mother Alexandra, with whom she had a close friendship her entire life. Mom was an exceptional role model to her children and grandchildren. We have all been inspired by her self-sufficiency, independent nature and strong work ethic. Dianne had a very nurturing and empathetic nature as a mother and grandmother, which carried over to her more than 30 year career as a dedicated nurse. Her cool head, calmness under pressure and respect for her patients and families were appreciated in the operating rooms where she worked. She had a remarkable compassion for animals and would never hesitate to take in strays and give them a warm, loving home. In particular we remember Tippy the cat, who was on death's door and was lucky enough to be saved by Dianne. Mom had a passion for gardening and baking. It was always a treat to eat her delicious vegetables and culinary creations at family gatherings. We miss you Mom and we all love you more than words can express. Our family would like to express our thanks and appreciation to the Paramedics and staff at the Ste. Anne Hospital as well as Health Sciences Centre for their professionalism and compassion at this most difficult time. A private family function was held for Dianne, and we thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support. If desired, donations may be made to the Humane Society, D'Arcy's A.R.C. and Craig Street Cats. Cropo Funeral Chapel 204-586-8044

I was terribly shocked and saddened to hear of Dianne's untimely passing. It still seems somewhat unreal to me! Dianne was truly one of the most dedicated and hard working nurses I have ever worked with. Her compassion for her patients was unwavering. I will really miss Dianne at our get togethers. To the family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Take comfort knowing that Dianne is now with Allan once again. Cherish all the happy memories, until you meet again! - Posted by: Linda Cardinal (Friend and colleague ) on: Feb 08, 2015

It is with much sadness that I hear of Dianne's passing. Yes, she was all and more of what was mentioned in the obituary. The deep respect that all had for her as an Operating Room nurse is undying. As a friend, Dianne demonstrated care and empathy while never voicing any criticism. Many will miss Dianne. Condolences to the family. She spoke highly of you and always wanted only the very best for you. My prayers are for you in your loss and for the soul of Dianne where she is at peace with those she loved and who passed before her. May they all be rejoicing in heaven together. - Posted by: Pat Bucholz (Friend and work colleague) on: Feb 07, 2015
