elevated 6cKei Obituary
After battling severe respiratory issues, and healing from a broken hip, it is with heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Dianne Rourke on April 24, 2024, at Southlake Regional Health Centre at the age of 82. Reunited in heaven with her beloved husband A. John, and son Sean (Fran). Loving mother of Stéphanie (Rob), Jennifer (Tom) and Kelly Anne (Gary). Proud grandmother of Luke, Taylor, Karley, Dakota, Travis, Spencer, and Alma. Great grandmother to Theo. Dear sister of Noreen, and aunt to many beloved nieces and nephews. Dianne will be remembered for her sassy sense of humour, classy style, immense kindness, superstar receptionist at CHUM Radio, and cheerful volunteer at St. John’s Rehab where she served for 10 years with her husband John. She was thoughtful in her gift/card giving, loved to dance (Alouette Majorettes, ballet, and all the weddings), she travelled to many places around the world but she truly loved “her island” Barbados. Dianne will be sadly missed and held dear in the hearts of her many extended family and friends.

So sorry for your loss. Your Mom truly was a “superstar”!
Rich and I are very sorry for your loss. May you take comfort in all your lovely memories!
My sincere condolences to your family Jen. The photo you have chosen, I believe sums up the joy she gave to others and the joy she experienced in life. She has brought much joy to all.
So so sorry for your loss! The joy she brought is evident in that smile! I pray you find comfort in the fact that she is with those who have gone before her. May you also find comfort in the love and prayers of those who surround you. Xoxo
Thank you Rache xo
I’ll carry so many wonderful memories with me and cherish Aunt Dianne’s joie de vivre forever. Love & heartfelt sympathies my sweet family.
Beautifully said, Elle xo
A ray of sunshine – her warmth, kindness, and generosity will be greatly missed – thanks to her and John for all they did for St John’s Rehab

To the Rourke Family
So sorry for your loss. Dianne and I were majorettes way back when and had fun during those years. The last time we got together was for the reunion September 9th 2003, when the Grannies came marching home.
We shared many stories and laughter. I’ll always remember her brilliant smile.
My Deepest Condolences

Dianne was a “One In A Million” kind of lady. She cared about so many of us at CHUM Radio. She always wore a smile and she always presented herself in the most beautiful way. I will truly miss her and I promise to never forget her!
