WILSON, Diane ( nee Parsons) Di unexpectedly passed away peacefully at 77 years of age on April 23, 2009. Born in Victoria in 1931, the only child of Frank and Gertie Parsons, she grew up at 1400 Pembroke Street, graduated from Vic High in 1949 and from the Royal Jubilee nursing program in 1952. Even after 50 years, she never missed Vic High or Jubilee nursing reunions and leaves many good friends from her Jubilee and Vic High years. Predeceased by her first (and second!) husband, Vic Wilson, she leaves her three boys Tony (Mary-Jane) of New Westminster, Kerry of Montreal and Randy (Candece) of Victoria; her grandchildren Chantal and Nikki Wilson, Emma and Jeremy Wilson and Alexandre Wilson; and 3 great Grandchildren, Tianna, Dominic and Kieirra. While fate and fortune may have taken her for quite a ride in life, in her heyday, she flew on the Concorde, lived for 13 years overlooking the ocean at 1121 Beach Drive (surrounded by her many animals), traveled the world with Vic and the boys (first class!) and reprimanded some of the finest waiters in Europe and Asia. In addition to caring for her mother, she helped raise Chantal and Nikki as babies and was a friend to everyone she met in life. A Memorial Service will be held at McCall Bros. Floral Chapel, Johnson and Vancouver Streets, on Saturday May 9th, 2009 at 2:00 pm. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com . 539289
