Diane Pomroy

It is with great sadness we announce the death of Diane Marie Pomroy (nee Chapman). Di passed away in the evening of Saturday January 13, 2018 at Ian Anderson House at the age of 70.

Born in the Wirral, England in 1947. She grew up on Merseyside during the swinging sixties. She was a “cavern club “habitué and knew the Beatles before they were famous. She moved to work in London, UK and then onto Spain for a year before returning to the Wirral where she met and married her husband Ray in 1974. Di had an artistic temperament and a great sense of style. She was a needle pointer, a crocheter, a knitter, a quilter and a clothes maker. Much of her work still adorns her house. She loved sport and was a good tennis and squash player in her youth before discovering golf when she moved to Canada. She was a member of Deerfield Golf Club and Mississaugua Golf and Country club. She also took up Bridge with a passion and played in many groups around Lorne Park. Di and Ray moved from the UK to Holland and onto Canada in 1986, they spent four years in the US before retiring back to Canada. Di was a generous friend and mother and her love of throwing parties will be missed by all those who enjoyed the Xmas, Summer and pool side parties.

Beloved wife of Ray Pomroy for 43 years. She was a devoted mother to Victoria and her husband Todd, Georgina and Mark. A loving Granny to Alexandra and Samuel whilst also being an aunt, a great aunt and a sister in law. She leaves behind her sister Shirley but was predeceased by her twin brother Ian. Di’s love, friendship and “Joie de Vivre” will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved her.

There will be a private Family funeral followed by a Celebration of Life. The dates will be announced later.
