DIANE L GRAY
With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved Diane Lynn Gray, December 28, 2025, aged 69.
Diane will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by partner Peter, sister Lorraine, nephew Adam and wife Kristy, great nieces Quinn and Mattie, sister-in-law Marion, nephews Aaron and Adam.
Diane is predeceased by her parents, Marilyn and Jack Gray.
Diane touched all of our lives with her warmth, compassion, delightful humour and ever-loving ways. She was a beautiful exceptional person always willing to help others.
She shone as brightly as a twinkling star and exuded joyfulness from within her pure loving heart.
Diane loved her family and friends and took immense joy in spending time with them.
Diane grew up in a loving family in Fort Garry. After graduating from Vincent Massey, she went to work for a number of newspapers and lastly with Glacier Farm Media, which she really enjoyed especially working with her colleagues.
Diane made close and lifelong friends from school, work and social outings.
Diane had a wonderful, loving childhood and enjoyed going to the family cabin, usually bringing her close friend to join in the fun with swimming, water skiing and boating.
Later in life, Diane met the love of her life, Peter. They enjoyed a very peaceful and loving life together. They loved attending the ballet and symphony and did many activities together.
Diane and Peter enjoyed summer outings to Red Lake, Ontario, Peter’s hometown, Thunder Bay, Kenora, Blindfold Lake and Winnipeg Beach.
Diane was an avid reader, enjoyed puzzles, walking, snowshoeing and keeping a beautiful flower garden. She was devoted to her two cats and loved snuggling up to them.
Diane’s favourite place to be was at Leo Mol Sculpture Gardens, taking in the amazing sculptures, especially the ballerina, then sit under the pergola and gaze at the lily pad pond with family and friends.
Diane was a beautiful, unique and loving person and we shall always cherish the wonderful memories of Diane which will remain in our hearts forever.
A private family interment will take place at a later date.
Donations may be made in Diane Grays memory to the Winnipeg Humane Society.

I worked with Diane for a number of years. She was one of the most kind-hearted, funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with - truly a sparkling person. After a difficult merger, she made me feel immediately at ease and truly welcome. She was delightful. The world has lost a bright light. My deepest condolences to her family. - Posted by: Nancy Jean Arason (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2026

I was sad to see this today.The last time I had a heart to heart with Diane was years ago, and she continued to impress me with her life and all the activities she participated in. There will be many of the former Winnipeg Sun employees who will miss her vibrance. May she rest in peace and the quiet . - Posted by: Laurie Anne Marie Gyde (friend from the Winnipeg Sun days) on: Jan 17, 2026

What can I say about Diane? The last time I saw her was at a funeral..Many of the Sun people were there. She looked at peace and happy, with that everlasting smile that never ended. I wish to say I am so sorry to have read this, this morning, and know that I learned so much more about her in the lovely words written here about her life. - Posted by: Laurie Anne Marie Gyde (friend from The Winnipeg Sun) on: Jan 17, 2026
