She is survived by her hus- band, Dennis Raybould, and their two children Danyelle and Dale, as well as her five grand- children Rowan, Keenan, Kylie, Jonah and Nolan. Diane cared very much for her community. She was always bringing knowledge of health through food and natural healings. In June 2003, one of her dreams came true. She opened up Nature’s Corner. She made a place where people could come and eat and shop healthy and feel good. Above all, she was a loving wife and mother, an extraordi- nary grandmother and a great friend and was always there when her family needed her. She loved the outdoors, camp- ing and hiking She will be missed immensely. When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the soul laughs for what it has found. — Anonymous A private family service will be held Sunday, Feb. 19.
