Dianne died peacefully on Aug. 14, 2017 at the Foyer Lacombe Hospice Centre in St Albert, AB, following a massive stroke in late April. She was born and grew up in Gagetown Village, NB.

Dianne and I began our studies to become dietitians in the now defunct Home Economics program at Mount A in 1959. While doing so Dianne joined the ROTP (Air Force) and in her third year transferred to the University of Alberta, returning to Mount A for her final year to graduate with our Class of 1963.

In order to complete our qualifications both of us arrived in Montreal — Dianne at the Royal Victoria Hospital and me at the Montreal General. Upon graduation in May 1964 Dianne embarked on her military career, stationed at several bases and finally in Germany. Returning to Canada in 1969 she pursued a Master of Science (Applied Human Nutrition) at the University of Guelph where I was finishing my first year. It was here that my supervisor asked me whether I had read her thesis and commented, "she hasn't left a stone unturned."

Following graduation, she joined the faculty in the Food and Nutrition department at University of Alberta. Later she returned to Ontario to study at OISE (The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education). This led her to pursue various positions as a counsellor and eventually led back to Alberta.

Dianne was meticulous in all that she undertook. This included the manner in which she connected to anyone including colleagues, students, and clients. She was an amazing and steadfast friend. She was also fun and a conversation, whether in person or on the telephone, usually included laughter. In my last conversation with her just before Easter she was gleefully giving me firm advice as to how to solve an issue in my life.

Dianne married Ron Rolf in October of 2002 acquiring a new family that she loved and enjoyed. She "lived her life with quiet determination and dedication to her loving family, cherished friends, and spiritual faith community."
