McINNES, Diane (Hiles) – It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that our family announces the passing of our beloved mom, grandma, nanny, great grandma and friend to many. On Wednesday, September 5, 2018, at Salvation Army Eventide Home, surrounded by loved ones, at the age of 85, Diane was embraced by loving arms as she joined her husband Gord McInnes; daughter Caroline Fast and grandson Eric Lim.
