Obituary for Dianne De Sousa Pereira

It is with great sadness that the family of Dianne De Sousa Pereira announce her passing in her 40th year on July 15, 2020. She leaves behind her beloved wife Jes and was dearly loved by her daughters Victoria and Vanessa Dolic, her fur babies Sativa, Jojo, and Angel, Mom Ana Pereira, and Dad Manuel Pereira. She leaves behind two brothers Kevin and Tyler, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and extended family and friends who will forever miss her infectious laugh and playful nature.

Born in Toronto, in her younger years Dianne was passionate about fitness and gymnastics. Later in life, Dianne became a medical esthetican. She loved her job, and expanding her scope. She grew within her profession, and she was always upgrading and learning new things. She was also a make-up artist, and she never left the house without applying her make up (even if it was just to go to the corner store).

Her two children were the absolute light of her life, and what kept her going even during her hardest times. Her daughters were her inspiration and her strength to carry on, and because of them Dianne never gave up in the face of a struggle. Her ultimate goal was to show her beautiful daughters the world and pave a path to have them grow to be strong and independent women. Dianne always saw the special side of people and loved each indidividal she met for their own unique qualities.

Throughout her life, she passionately loved travelling, lying in the sun on a beach and swimming free in the warm waters of the ocean. Dianne will be fondly remembered by her family as the person who always loved a new adventure, and lived each day like her last. Her bright smile could lighten even the darkest day. Dianne was the strongest force, had the hardest head and could not be told she was wrong. Dianne always said that in her life she lived, loved, lost and missed, she made mistakes but most of all she learned. Her family will always remember her for her stubborn nature, and her will to live her life to the fullest. She was a beautiful mystery, who always let her beauty shine through.

Heaven gained another angel, rest easy Di.
