Dianna WEST Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 22, 2023.
With courage and determination through her journey with cancer, Nell died peacefully at the St. Catharines hospital on April 14, 2023. After training as a nurse in Montreal, Nell travelled the world before choosing to make St. Catharines her home. Never too busy to make time for others, she led a purposeful life as she helped to better our community as a loyal and faithful volunteer, including at the St. Catharines Hospital, the Alzheimer's Society, St. George's Anglican Church Breakfast Program, Morningstar Mill, Canadian Federation of University Women and Hospice Niagara. In recognition of her many contributions, Nell was honoured to receive Rotary's Paul Harris Fellowship Award in recognition of exemplary service to the community and Hospice Palliative Care Ontario's 2022 June Callwood Circle of Outstanding Volunteers Award.
Nell truly lived the motto 'service before self'. She was loved by many for her positive attitude and compassionate nature. Her cheerful curiosity, her spirit of kindness, her enthusiasm and her joy for life will be missed by her family and her many friends.
A sincere thank you to the doctors, nurses and paramedics at Niagara Health - St. Catharines who provided exceptional and compassionate care to Nell.
Cremation has taken place. Flowers are gratefully declined. Please join us at a gathering to celebrate Nell's life in the Swan Room at St. George's Anglican Church, 83 Church Street, St. Catharines on Saturday, May 6 at 2:00 pm.

This was a shock because I played bridge with Nell about a week before she died and she seemed fine. She lived life to the fullest and that's all we can do for ourselves and our friends. Rest in peace now, Nell.

I knew Nell just casually through CFUW, but liked her very much. She was always so friendly and positive. My condolences to all who loved her. She will be missed.

Nell was a very special lady..I was priviledged to know her from exercise and walking groups. I made a donation in her name to Hospice Niagara where I know she was a volunteer and they knew her well. RIP Nell..Michele (Mickie ) chabot
