Obituary of Diana Elizabeth Bennett

Peacefully at home on Thursday November 24th, 2016, in her 60th year, Diana passed away surrounded by her family and BFF. Loving wife of 39 years of Kim Bennett and mother to Curtis (Koty) and Jill (the late Jesse) Dixon. Cherished Nana of Madylin, Isla and Teis Dixon. Diana had a long career as an operator with Bell Canada, where she made several lifelong friendships, before retiring and spending her time with her grandchildren, helping friends and family with their painting and gardening, creating her own beautiful gardens and enjoying life. Diana is survived by her parents, George and Norma Fielding, brothers Don (Penny), Danny (Kim) and Dennis (Brenda) Fielding, brothers-in-law Wayne (Linda) and Lynn (Donna) Bennett, sister-in-law Gail Baigent and many other close family and friends. Our family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at KGH and St. Mary’s of the Lake for their excellent care over the last three months. A very special thank you to Colleen and the staff of Bayshore Home Health and Care Partners for making it possible for Diana to spend her final weeks at home, as well as to her BFF Lorie Bennett, Susan & Harvey Langdon, Gail Baigent, Lynn & Donna Bennett and the many others who helped care for Mom and helped us out at home to allow us to spend as much time as possible with her. Family and friends are invited to visit with the family at the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls on Tuesday, November 29th 2016 from 12 noon – 3PM. Interment at Hillcrest Cemetery will follow at 3:30PM. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Gananoque Horticultural Society or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.
