Peacefully at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie, on Friday, October 1st, 2021 in her 85th year.
Diana was born on August 20th,1937 and was a devoted daughter to Gladys (Norman) and Albert Hillock of Toronto. She was a beloved sister to Donny (Jean), Sharon and Bill. She spent much of her time in Big Bay Point, swimming and making memories at their family cottage. Many years later she lived with her surviving partner George Newton in Bala, and Naples Florida.
She was a loving mother of Nancy Milne (David) and predeceased by her daughter Elizabeth Wilkins (Dan) of Barrie.
Diana was a proud Nana and will be sadly missed by Kelly, Allison, Hanna, Jake, Emily, and Claire and her four great-grandchildren, Lylia, Keith, Emmett and Hudson. She will be fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews.
Many thanks to the team at RVH and nurse Alysha for her care and attention. Diana was thoughtfully cared for by staff while living amongst her friends at the Barrington Retirement home in Barrie.
At Diana’s request, cremation has taken place and family members will celebrate her life privately at this time. Memorial donations to Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre Donate Now - Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre Foundation (rvh.on.ca) would be appreciated by the family.
