Our beloved mother, wife, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Dianne Ross (McGinnis) passed away April 18, 2023 at the age of 75, after 10 courageous months fighting triple negative metastatic breast cancer. Surrounded by her loving family who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest and loving with all of their hearts.
Dianne was born June 10, 1947, in Bellingham Washington. Her love of family was always her priority and if you ask any of her grandkids about their fondest memories of childhood it would be intertwined with tales of boating and golf cart rides and cookies. The simplest things brought Dianne the greatest pleasure. Her kindness and compassion was contagious and spread to all that knew and loved her. Brave and courageous doesn’t begin to define her final year. She made the best of a bad deal and taught us all to always find the silver linings – no matter how small.
She is forever loved and missed by her husband, children, grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter we will always miss her encouragement and love. Remembered forever by her sisters and auntie, many special cousins, nieces and nephews and of course her special “sister friends”. She was blessed all her life with beautiful friendships and treasured them all. Predeceased by her parents and older sister.
Her biggest wish would be that metastatic breast cancer will one day have a cure.
-Her wings were ready, our hearts were not-
