Diane MURTAGH Obituary
72 years of age at Hospice Village in Windsor. After a courageous battle, Diane passed into the Lord's loving arms surrounded by her family on January 28, 2015. Cherished wife and best friend of Jack. Loving mother of Jim Kelly (Denise), Judy Ziriada (Chris), Carrie Kelly (2013) and Michelle Wilson (Rob). Precious Grandma of Bianca Montaleone (Pat), CJ Ziriada (fiancé of Natalie Lapointe), Carolyn Ziriada (fiancée of Devin Humphries), Miles Kelly, Ilija Josic-Wilson and Brenden Wilson. Treasured Gigi to Joseph Montaleone. Dear sister of Dave Fountaine (Georgette) and Charlene Walach (Steve - 2005). Predeceased by her parents Clarence and Fern Fountaine. Beloved sister- in-law, aunt and friend, Diane's smile and her caring personality will be missed by many. Diane enjoyed singing with Sweet Adelines for many years and developed many lasting friendships. Diane and Jack also met and became close with many treasured friends from across the United States and Canada while living in their motor home, summering at Wildwood RV Resort. The outpouring of love and support from all of their friends and family near and far has been a great source of comfort to Diane and her family. Special thanks to the doctors, staff and volunteers at Hospice of Windsor, especially Jessica, Christine and both Michelles and at Windsor Regional Ouellette Campus.

I was so very fortunate to have such a great friend for many years...one that no matter how long between visits we just picked up where we left off. hard to find someone so genuine and loving. Thank you Diane for sharing your life and your family with me . I will always remember the great times we had travelling across the country and cherish the pictures I have of those adventures.
Condolences to Jack, Judy and Jim and families

I'm so, so sad hearing upon my childhood friend's passing. We had a lot of good old "doo wop" singing moments back in the day and when we took off to Wasaga Beach. Those memories have always been with me and always will. My condolences to the family as well as to our other George Avenue friends who, I'm sure, is just as sad as I am. God bless you.
