Diane was a Registered Nurse for 48 years, most of her career spent at the Our Lady’s Hospital in Vilna, AB. Diane had many hobbies, they included, sewing, gardening, crocheting/knitting & travelling around the world with family. She loved spending time with her grandkids, and there wasn’t a dance recital, 4-H show or Archery that she wouldn’t attend. Diane’s family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the nursing staff at the George McDougall Health Centre, Dr. Henrik Lourens, as well as the Smoky Lake Home Care team for their excellent care & compassion shown towards mom. Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Mrs. Kozak’s Life will take place at a later date.
