At her home on Thursday October 28, 2021, Dianne Gregory passed away at the age of 49 years surrounded by her loved ones. She was a beloved wife to Dennis for an amazing 28 years. She is survived by her parents Ken and Anne Williamson, and her mother-in-law Judy Gregory. Loving mother of Brandy & David Wilson, Morgan Gregory, Bryce Gregory and partner Nicole Bettles. Proud grandmother of Messer and Kaden Wilson. Also survived by her siblings Cathy & Harry Boyle, Jeff & Becky Williamson, Carol & Chuck Regele and her brother and sisters-in-law Danny & Janice Gregory, Deb & Jeff Gowing, Donna & John Curran and Heather McMillan. She will be fondly remembered by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by her father-in-law Milne Gregory and her brothers John Williamson and Bob Williamson.
During Dianne’s personal battle with cancer, she fought hard while maintaining the most positive outlook. Even through the toughest days, she found opportunities to laugh and inspire. She frequently reminded each and every one of us to celebrate every moment, count our blessings, always say I love you, and never let your glass be empty.
Arrangements entrusted to McCallum & Palla Funeral Home, Goderich. In keeping with Dianne’s wishes, a private family service will take place on Monday, November 1, 2021. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Dungnnon Agricultural Hall on Saturday November 13, 2021 from 3-6 PM so that we may all gather to celebrate and honour such a special woman. If so desired, donations in Dianne’s memory may be made to the Alexandra Marine & General Hospital Foundation or ONECARE Home & Community Support Services gratefully acknowledged. Friends may sign the book of condolences at www.mccallumpalla.ca.

I met Dianne first week of grade 9 seaforth high school. She was a true friend all through those years and beyond. We had great times together and she had the personality of a friend that would stand by you through thick or thin. She was so proud of her family. I am truly saddened by her passing and hope your memories get you through such a difficult time. Take care , God bless

From grade 9 – grade 12, Dianne was my second mom. I will never forget the many, many memories in the old house of partying until 4am and making reeses pie cause I’d eat half the thing in one sitting. Always had a bed for me (sharing with Brandy almost always, thanks Morgan for the few times) and always had a plate set for me. Told me straight up, no around the bush and was there for us no matter what. Even to get out early from assemblies. You were a light in this world and it’s now a little dimmer but I know you will shine it so bright up above all of your loved ones.
Get that drink into ya! 💜

I myself did not know Dianne that well, but my son Kalvin did. I got to hear a lot of stories about the Curran house and how kind they were to include Kalvin in their activities. I send my condolences to the family. Dianne you had lots of love to share and receive, be gentle to yourselves family this is a tough journey.
Be sure to check in on Kalvin for me. 💙
