Head, Dianne Marie
July 7, 1948 – September 13, 2024
at the age of 76 years:
It’s with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loving Mom, Grandma and GG on September 13, 2024.
Dianne is survived by her four children, Corinne, Terrance (Vickie), Patrick (Dawna), Deborah (Adian); 5 grandchildren, Darien (Jessi), Dawson, Triston (Faith) Logan (Kaitlyn) and Shaylah. Great Grandchildren Oaklee and Leo. Also, her sister Gail (Mike) Kaczowka.
Dianne was born on July 7th, 1948 in Prince Albert, SK where she grew up and met the love of her life, Larry and were married on January 30, 1965.
After Larry made a trip to deliver a load of grain to the Shuswap, he fell in love with Salmon Arm and the surrounding area and made the decision to relocate with Dianne and the kids in 1977. Dianne worked for Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Dietary for 25 years until her retirement.
After Larry’s retirement, they soon became snowbirds, escaping the cold winter months of the Shuswap to Parker, Arizona where they quickly made many new friends. When they came back to Salmon Arm for the summer, they were park hosts at Herlad Provincial Park for 2 summers. Unfortunately, they were unable to go back to Parker for the winter due to Larry getting sick and passing away in early 2018.
Dianne loved watching her grandkids play sports. You could always hear her loudly cheering from the stands at her grandson’s hockey games and granddaughter’s ringette games or the bleachers at baseball games. She loved the outdoors, being with friends, playing cards and the unconditional love of her Bichon puppy Halo. She was an amazing cook and everyone looked forward to her home made cabbage rolls and borscht.
Dianne’s infectious laugh and bright smile will be missed by all who knew her.
Our family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the caring staff at Parkview Place, Vince and Tammy Fischer of Fischer’s Funeral home and all our family and friends for all your love and support through this difficult time.
There was a private, graveside interment of Mom and Dad at the Shuswap Memorial Gardens on November 8th, 2024.

Recently, my mom passed away suddenly in Palm Springs, California. My dad was devastated with grief, but he had some amazing friends nearby who helped him thru the process.In order to start that process, they needed the name of a funeral service in Salmon Arm that the people in the states could be in contact with about the handling of the remains. One of the friends recommended Fischer's Funeral Services, so they were called and They were amazing..they handled all the paperwork and kept in close contact with both the funeral homes and the people dealing with certificates and such. They will also help the spouse with some paperwork regarding taxes if necessary.When my father and I went to see them regarding my mother's wishes, they were so accommodating and did not hesitate to do everything they could to make this as pleasant as they possibly could. We even changed our minds a few times about things at the last minute, and they made it all happen just the way we wanted.My mother didn't have the usual service and it was the best choice we could have made for her and Fischer's did everything to make the day absolutely beautiful from the room setup to the layout of the flowers and urn. They also supplied all the little stuff that you don't even think about in a time like that( paper plates, cutlery, coffee, tea, etc...) and it took a giant load off of my mind so I could concentrate on making this the best send off I could for my mom and for that, I will be forever grateful.I am quite bad to judge how much food and such to get for events , we had way, way too much leftover, but I felt happy about it because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. It gets donated to the local Women's shelter and so I feel that even though my mom is gone, she is still giving to others, and that is the best feeling.I was amazed at the cost of the service. I have heard horror stories about the thousands and thousands of dollars it can cost and I was concerned because of the situation in dealing with the US that the cost would be one of those stories, but that was the most reasonable cost I have ever seen, and a house will not have to be mortgaged to pay for it ... 😊A BIG shout out to Fischer's for all you did for me and my father and may the Heavens bless you both!
