Diane Jean  Stephens

Lieu de décès : Sydney
Date de décès : 12 avril 2016

Our beautiful mother, Diane Jean Stephens, age 73, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Harbourstone Guest Home on Tuesday, April 12, 2016, after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Mom will forever be remembered by her four children, Todd Abbass (Carolyn), Gina Murphy (Pat), Richard Abbass (Lisa) and Lynn Abbass (Alex). She will also be remembered as "Nanny Di" to her 11 grandchildren: Jesse, Ben, Sam, Jordan, Ritchie, Jake, Ben, Brandon, Thomas, Katherine and Diana Lynn. Mom is also survived by her ex-husband and father of her children, Melvin Abbass.
Mom was predeceased by her parents, W.J. 'Bill' and Dorothy Stephens and siblings, Jack, Elaine and Faye.
As a teenager and young adult, Mom sang on local TV shows, Cape Breton Barn Dance and Talent Caravan. She was a beautiful singer. Her singing was heard regularly throughout the house growing up. It will always be a cherished memory.
After graduating from Sydney Academy, Mom went on to Cape Breton Business College where she completed the secretarial program. However, after having children, Mom decided to be a stay at home mom. Mom's love for children ran deep. They were drawn to her smile, sense of humour, and caring ways.
We will forever be grateful to all the staff at Harbourstone, Kimberly Hall, Irish Cove Unit, where Mom lived the last five years of her life. The caring and compassionate staff became like a second family to her, taking care of all of her needs.
Cremation has taken place by Chant's Funeral Home. A private memorial will be held for family as this was Mom's final request.
Donations may be made to the Parkinson's Society or the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, children's palliative care unit.
