Obituary of Dianne Margaret Williams

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Mrs. Sugar after a short journey with cancer on March 11, 2025.

Survived by her loving son Daniel (Lynn) and special daughter Holly, her grandchildren Tara, Nathan (Kari), Jonathan, Stephen (Angela), Brieanna (Jamie), her great-grandchildren Ava, Sophie, Piper, Bennett, Haiden, Emma, Bella, Addison, & Colton.  Also survived by a great-great-grandson Wesley who Dianne had the pleasure of meeting on Feb. 23. Survived by her brother Robert Orth. Also survived by loving nieces and nephews and cousins.

Predeceased by her husband Cyril, son Wayne and daughters Wendy and Suzanne and grandson Jamie. Also predeceased by her parents Roy and Helen Orth and her sister Sandy and sister-in-law Marg.

Dianne was born February 3, 1935, in Kitchener and lived until the age of 90 years. She resided at Pike Lake Fairway Estates in Clifford for many years and enjoyed gardening and feeding her birds and chipmunks. She enjoyed playing cards with her lady friends every week and volunteered for causes close to her heart. Dianne was still shoveling snow and digging up flower beds until she was 89. She loved being involved with her family and friends. We will remember her as happy, energetic and a fun person to be in the company of. Her sparkle and big smile will be missed immensely.

Special thanks to St. Mary’s Hospital and the Waterloo Region Hospice for all the special care that Dianne received. Many thanks to neighbours of Dianne who watch out for her well being and helped with snow removal. To Mike and Suzanne we thank you for looking out for Ma!
