With heavy hearts, we announce that Dianne passed away on August 17th, 2022 at the age of 76 years.

 

Dianne Thiessen went to be with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, after battling cancer. Dianne is survived by her twin daughters, Terrie(Tony Redekopp), and Tammie, and her brother, Bob Kurtz, sister Joanne(Doug Stimpson), also her 3 precious grandchildren Kate-lyn Redekopp, Matthew and Mason Fehr and other family members.

 

Mom worked at the Health Sciences Centre for over 30 years and spent her spare time involved in church activities. It was important to mom to give back to others. Mom had a big heart and always helped out wherever she could.  Even in her last days she spent time knitting wheelchair blankets, hats and scarves for others.

 

We want to say a special thank you to all those at her apartment complex who helped transport Dianne to and from the social lounge and to all those who played cards with her and checked in on her every day.  We extend a very special thank you to her brother, Bob Kurtz, who selflessly transported Dianne to and from her cancer treatments and walked hand in hand with Dianne throughout her journey with cancer.

 

In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that remembrances be made in the form of donations to Church of the Rock – Missions 1397 Buffalo Place, Winnipeg MB R3T 1L6.

​

Dianne's family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
