It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Diane Ella Les (nee Bowden) on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 with her loving family by her side. Diane fought cancer with courage and grace. Diane is survived by her loving husband of 54 years Ed, daughter Lori (Joe), son Ted (Caroline), son Tim (Kristine) and 5 grandchildren Briana, Stephanie, Jayden, Oliver and Julia as well as sisters Pat (Don) and Darlene (Danny), numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and loving friends. Diane and Ed established a successful family business that has been running for 47 years. Diane lived her life with passion, warmth and a great sense of humour. She touched so many lives and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Diane's family invite you to celebrate and honour her life on Thursday February 19, 2015 at 2 p.m. at Newlands Golf & Country Club, 21025-48th Avenue, Langley.

Offering my deepest condolences. It was a true honour to be present with your family in 2012 when Diane was presented with her Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal for all of her dedication to Crohn's and Colitis Canada. She was a wonderful and caring woman and I am so sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathies to all the family. Ed . . . with a smile we remember you and Diane packaging up plant pills on the Pembroke production line. Also, what fun we had with all our little ones in Bill's backyard swimming pool.
