Diane Elizabeth Carr

After a short struggle with pancreatic cancer Diane Carr passed peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones.

Diane was born in Aldershot, UK but spent her youth in Port Alberni. Later she lived in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Baca Grande, Colorado and for five years sailed the world.

She will be missed by many.
