Diane Kathleen Plante

Diane Kathleen Plante (née Scott) passed away on January 5 at the age of 90. She was a loving sister to Larry Harding and a mother of four: Michael (Sharon), Bruce, Corinne Feenie (Jim), and Colette. She was a proud and caring mother with a strong mind and playful spirit. Diane was very independent and she taught her children to be hard-working, honest, and compassionate toward those who were struggling.

Diane was pre-deceased by her parents Patricia and Dick Harding, her daughter-in-law, Linda Plante, and her grandchildren, Jesse Plante and Amanda Hamel. She loved and was proud of her remaining grandchildren: Josh (Lyndsey), Joe (Catherine), Monica Perito, Kristen Halpin (Dave), Dawson Feenie (Teagan), Mathew Feenie (Sara), Taylor Plante (Tim), and Therin Plante, and her great-grandchildren: Michael Perito, Mason and Mia Hamel, Sailish and River Plante, Elliott and Isaac Plante, Jones, Henry and Finnegan Halpin, and Miles Feenie.

Cremation has already taken place and there will be a private and informal memorial gathering at a later date.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
