It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dianne Carol Regnier-Kowalchuk.
Dianne passed peacefully in the company of family and her best friend, Watson, on September 15, 2023, at the Goodwill Manor Nursing Home in Duck Lake, SK.

Dianne’s greatest joy was the births and lives of her three children, Jennifer, Joanne, and Mitchell.
She married Thomas Kowalchuk in September of 1999 and together they owned and operated a family business in construction on an acreage just outside of Yorkton, SK.
Dianne loved gatherings with family and friends, cooking, gardening, evenings by the firepit, sunrises on the deck, and music. She had a great passion for all types of music.
She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
