DIANE MacARTHUR
DIANE LYNNE MacARTHUR It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Diane at age 55 on November 21, 2004, following a valiant, unremitting battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband of 30 years, Bob; their son Ian; aunts, Jean and Adele; uncle Danny; and cousins, Mike, Judy, Grant, Gwen, Susan, Kim and Darryl. Diane's radiant smile and love of life touched us all, and she will be fondly remembered by her entire family, including the MacArthurs and McLeods in Alberta and British Columbia, as well as her many dear friends and colleagues in Manitoba and across the country. Diane was born
in Winnipeg, the sole daughter of Sophie and George Hunka (both deceased), and attended Sisler High School. Following her father's transfer with Air Canada to Montreal in 1965, Diane completed high school there and graduated from McGill University with a B.Sc. (Science) in 1970. She then returned to Winnipeg to pursue postgraduate studies in the Department of Zoology, University of Manitoba, earning a M.Sc. in 1974. Diane has worked as a sessional lecturer and biology instructor at the Universities of Calgary, Winnipeg and, most recently, Manitoba, where she was employed as a senior instructor in the Department of Zoology at the time of her passing. Diane was a dedicated teacher committed to instilling in students an appreciation for the virtues of direct observation and "hands-on" experience in the learning of basic physiological principles and an understanding of how animals work. Whether counselling a student, family member, or close friend, Diane took their problems to heart and could always be counted on for sound, well-reasoned advice. She was a "straight-shooter" who called them as she saw them, and had a strong sense of fairness and natural justice. She was a loyal friend, loving wife and devoted mother who often put the interests of others ahead of her own. In caring for her aging parents, Diane was a model seniors' advocate who strived to ensure their final years were spent with dignity and in comfort. When she wasn't teaching or attending to her family, Diane divided her time between caring for her two Arabian horses, competing in dressage, gardening and cottaging on the Winnipeg River. Diane's cheery smile and upbeat personality provided a positive energy that will be deeply missed by all of us so fortunate to have known and loved her. THE JOY OF LIVING You filled all my days, held the night at bay, dearest companion. Years pass by and they're gone with the speed of birds in flight. Our life like the verse of a song heard in the mountains. Give me a hand then love and join your voice with mine. We'll sing of the hurt and the pain and the joy of living. (Bobby Watt). Cremation has taken place and an informal gathering of family and friends is planned to celebrate her life. If so desired, donations in Diane's memory may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 1160-675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9. The family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to the health care providers at CancerCare Manitoba and the Women's Hospital, Health Sciences Centre, for the exceptional care, respect and kindness provided to Diane.
