Three Fathom Harbour, NS
July 21, 1970 - March 08, 2025
Diana Leann Goyetche, who entered the world with a mischievous twinkle in her eye on July 21, 1970, in the scenic city of Halifax, NS, decided to take her final curtain call on March 8, 2025, in the same hometown. With a life as colorful and vibrant as her crafts, Diana’s story is one to be told with a smile as bright as her personality, and perhaps a chuckle or two, because that's how she would've wanted it.
Diana, a natural force of joy much like the nature she adored, lived her life with the kind of enthusiasm that could put the Energizer Bunny to shame. She had a knack for collecting not just trinkets and seashells, but also hearts and laughs. Her art was beautiful and sometimes dark as was her sense of humor, each piece a testament to her belief that life is what you glue together from the odds and ends.
Her love story with her husband, Chris Purcell, was the kind of romance comedians poke fun at because it set the bar too high. They were partners in both love and laughter, navigating the wild journey of life and fishing boats that made even the toughest days feel like a sitcom scene they'd eventually laugh about.
The legacy of her laughter lives on in her kids, Angela Shanks and Eric Shanks, who inherited her wit and rebellious nature and Corwin Salsman, who definitely got her kindness and love for animals. And let's not forget the grandkids, Chase Carpenter and Dahlia Hudson, who were her favorite audience, always eager for grandma's encore performances.
Her departure was a peaceful adieu to a life well-lived and well-loved. Diana's absence will be felt deeply, but her spirit, much like her infamous hidden object games and riddles, will continue to be found in the most unexpected places, bringing joy and a burst of laughter when least expected.
So here's to Diana Leann Goyetche, a remarkable woman who taught us that life doesn't have to be taken so seriously, and that even in the end, it's okay to leave them laughing.
