DIANNA LYNNE BRENNEN (ROBIE)
Born: Mar 12, 1947
Date of Passing: Oct 09, 2014
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDIANNA LYNNE BRENNEN (nee ROBIE) It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing or our beloved mother, sister, and grandmother on October 9, 2014 at the St. Boniface General Hospital. Dianna was born in Winnipeg on March 12, 1947, the eldest of two daughters born to Albert Robie (deceased) and Margaret Smallenberg (deceased). Dianna grew up in Winnipeg and remained here for most of her life. Her happiest memories come from the time spent throughout her life with family and friends at Matlock Beach. Dianna is survived by her three children, Lisa Hill (Jason), Tyson Brennen (Kristen), and Bradley Brennen (Danielle), her two grandchildren Gabrielle and Nicholas Hill who were dear to her heart, and her devoted sister Dawn Tucker. Diana was predeceased by her son William "Willy" Brennen, who after 43 years will once again be in his mother's loving embrace. Dianna's health suffered greatly in her last years and so often it is difficult to see past the person in front of us to the person that they truly are. We sometimes forgot that she was a brilliant, strong, beautiful and courageous woman who raised three children as a single parent and provided for all of their needs, often sacrificing her own. Dianna was fun and full of life, she had a crazy and mischievous side and loved playing pranks and laughing with her friends. She loved clothes, shoes, music and dancing. Mom was an amazing cook and it was impossible to leave her table before seconds or even thirds of one of her signature dishes. Dianna was always there to lend a hand or an ear to friends and family and helped care for her father and uncle in their later years. Mom was in a word amazing and she is greatly missed. Her family would like to thank all of the healthcare professionals that helped to care for her these last years, with a special thank you to the staff of 5B and the Dialysis Team. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, October 17 at 2:00 p.m. at Thomson Funeral Home, 669 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB.

I love everything about Diana. Her beautiful style, her smile, her love of clothes and shoes, dancing, I loved the way she looked after herself. She did look like a real life doll. She reminded me of Wonder Woman. She was my kind of woman and I admired her. She was a wonderful sister,(she was irreplaceable) daughter and niece, but most of all I loved the way she loved her children. She was a wonderful mother, it wasn't easy working and raising your children by herself. But she did a fantastic job , all you have to do is see and meet her children. I feel so sad that she died so young. I just think it is so tragic. - Posted by: marianne cherniuk (friend) on: Oct 16, 2014

Diane was my best friend when we were very young. I loved her like a sister and will always remember her with great fondness. She and I had some amazingly, wonderful times growing up together. I thought of her often through the years and wished we would have kept in touch. My deepest sympathy to Diane's family and sister Dawn. - Posted by: Lillian Colburn (childhood friend) on: Oct 16, 2014

My brother Klaus Thies called me and told me about Diana's passing. My condolences to her family. Diana and I had many many pretty. Wild times together, and were very close for quite sometime. Don't really remember why, but we lost touch somehow. She was the prettiest girl in school, and looked like a Doll that came alive. I even named my favorite doll Diana, which I still have today. She looked just like her I thought. It seems like she had alot of love in her life And was very close to her family. My husband Ronnie and I wish her God speed.

I will miss Dianna. We started dialysis at the same time a few years ago and had some good laughs while in the parlor together. Dianna was a very good hearted person and even while dealing with her illnesses and dialysis, always cared about others and how they were doing. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Lynda Kitchen (Dialysis buddy) on: Oct 15, 2014

I have only known Dianna for a little over a year but in that time, i saw her as not only a dialysis patient but a friend. I will miss our Tuesday chats about the good times of the 60s, our love of the music back then and that of today. She was always anxious to hear about what was happening in Matlock and we shared a common love of the beaches of Lake Winnipeg. Dianna was an inspiration to me. When I feel down about something, I remember how she soldiered on under the most trying of circumstances. I was truly saddened to learn of her passing. I wish I could have had one more chance to give her the cup of crushed ice that she ate while we talked. My condolences go out to her entire family. I hope they find comfort in knowing that her titanic struggles are over and she can finally rest. - Posted by: Ralph Jackson (Volunteer friend at St. Boniface Hospital) on: Oct 15, 2014

Sorry for the loss of your Mom. I have many childhood memories involving Diane and my mom. She was a wonderful "Auntie" and going for rides to Lockport and Winnipeg Beach and singing country songs were just a few. She always had lots of hugs and kisses. May she rest in peace and her life be celebrated. - Posted by: Shannon (Family Friend) on: Oct 14, 2014

Lisa I am sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Like you I spent many hours running errands and doing things for and with my Mother. Being "sandwiched" between your kids and parents is never easy and of course some resentment is natural. It is easy to feel guilty. Don't. You did more than your share for your Mom and she couldn't have managed without you. Remember that with pain comes impatience and sometimes things are said that are not really meant. Remember her as she was when she was younger, Lisa. Take good care, Kathy - Posted by: Kathy Ryzner (Friend) on: Oct 12, 2014
