DIANE SANDRA MINAKER

Condolences & Memories (19 entries)

• I was just surfing to see what my old teacher was up to and was very sorry to see she had passed. My deepest condolences to her family. Mrs. Minaker was one of my best teachers - she inspired a great love of travel in me and an enduring love of languages that I still endeavour to learn more of these 40+ years later. I loved her slide shows and hope she somehow knows I did get to Chenonceau and Villandry eventually. - Posted by: Theresa Balak (Student) on: Jul 07, 2022

• Bob and Family I was so very sad to hear of Diane passing. Her strength, faith, and devotion to family were admired by everyone who knew her. I will always treasure so many memories: Our vacations together in Texas and Arizona, the many dinners we shared together, coffee at Tims Hortons, and most recently our long telephone conversations. I will always feel blessed and grateful to have had Diane as my friend over these many years and I will always have her in my heart.

• Bob, Joanne, Brian and family, We were all so very sad to hear of Diane's passing. Our heartfelt sympathy to everyone there in Winnipeg. We wish we could be there to celebrate her life at the service on Saturday but will raise a glass to her here in Vancouver. Diane was a great support to me this past year during my own cancer treatment. I was blessed to have her in my life and will remember her fondly and with admiration for many years to come.
