Portrait of Diane Ethier (née Lavergne)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Diane Elaine Ethier (née Lavergne) on August 29, 2026, at the age of 85.

Diane was the cherished daughter of the late Alfred and Yvette (née Robert) Lavergne. She was a loving sister to Robert Lavergne (Joke) and Leane Wise, and was predeceased by Loretta Dagnais (late Edward), Carol Rawlins (late Arthur and late Ken), and Robert Beauchamp (Sharon). She was also a dear sister-in-law to the late John Ethier (Claire) and Carol VanDerbyle (Ethier).

Diane was the beloved wife of the late Martial Alfred Ethier and a devoted mother to David Ethier, Christine Tessier (late Mark), Paul Ethier (Manon Roy), and Peter Ethier.

She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Martina, David Jr., Jessie, Amanda, Cole, Jeffery, and Johnathan, and her great-grandchildren Kaylee, Alexander, Scarlett, and Hazel.

Diane was a loving, caring, honest, hard-working, and fun-loving woman. She enjoyed travelling, meeting new people, and making memories, but above all, she treasured the time she spent with her family. A devout Catholic and avid Blue Jays fan, Diane lived her life with warmth, faith, and a genuine love for those around her.

She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

  1. Aunt Diane was so cherished, she was a loving mother, daughter, friend and beautiful Aunt. She was always there for us, always present and thoughtful. I spent many a day with her, she helped me through the tough times of caring for my Mom (her sister and also my dad). She never let me down, except now I can’t call her to squawk and laugh it out anymore and it has left a big gap in my life. From New Brunswick, we are sending all our love and many kisses up there to you.
    All our deepest condolences to David, Christine, Paul and Peter.

  3. My heart goes out to my hubby, our family, and all of Diane’s friends during this heartbreaking time. ❤️
    Diane was such a loving, funny, and caring person. She was the kind of gal who would give you the shirt off her back without thinking twice. She loved with all her heart and soul and had a way of making everyone around her feel loved and cared for.
    She will be deeply missed, but her beautiful spirit, laughter, and the love she gave so freely will live on in all of us who were lucky enough to know her. ❤️
    Rest peacefully, Diane. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. 🕊️❤️

  5. Wonderful Auntie Diane. She was always thoughtful, loving and fun. SO energetic! She faced many tough challenges with faith and true grit. One of my favourite memories of her is the time she came with us on a family vacation to Mexico, along with Aunt Molly. Diane was born to barter! She haggled like a boss at the market for her souvenirs, relishing every moment and deal she made. A well-deserved rest is yours now Auntie. Scott and I will miss you.

  6. Deepest Sympathies, David, Paul, Christine, Peter, Bobby & to All Family & Friends. Aunt Diane was such a Caring & Kind person that was a part of all of our lives. She will be Dearly missed, as one of my Favourite people in my life. I hope that you are enjoying a Great game of Scrabble with your sisters & listening to some grand ol’ country tunes with Marty, Granny & Grampy, in Heaven. Love Always ❤️ Kelly & Phil

  7. David, Paul, Christine and Peter, I just want you all to know how very sorry I am that you have lost your mom. I know how much she meant to each of you, and I know there really are no words that can make this easier. She was so proud of each and every one of you. I don’t think your mother ever knew just how much she meant to me. She came into my life as Bob’s sister, but as the years passed, she became far more to me. People who knew Diane admired her for her kindness, her love, and her compassion for others. I will miss her laugh as it was so hearty and the way she made people feel welcomed. I will miss our conversations, the laughter, and all those simple family moments we shared. Now, they are my precious memories, and I would give anything to live them again.
    Diane, my dear sister in love, you will always be loved, always remembered, and forever missed. ❤️
