Obituary of Diane Lillian Saborowski

Passed away peacefully at Columbia Forest LTC, Waterloo on Thursday, December 8, 2022, at the age of 79.  

Diane will be greatly missed by her husband Dennis Farrow of Kitchener, her children Steven Whitney (Gwen) of Otterville, David Whitney (Joan) of Thamesford, Mark Whitney (Joanne) of Hamilton Township, Jamie Whitney (Patrick) of Tiny Township, Jean Brown (Dave) of Milton, Michael Whitney (Julie) of Wellesley, her brother Randy Foerster (Shirley) of Elmira, her sister Roxy Abraham (Jim) of Milverton, her grandchildren Ryan Whitney, Erin Whitney, Mallory Bond, Colleen Brown, Jack Whitney, Emily Whitney, her great grandchildren Illa-Jean and Elle.  Diane is predeceased by her parents Jim and Iris Foerster, her brother Tom Foerster (Elaine) and her sweet grand-daughter Rachel Whitney.

Diane was born in Poole Ontario to Jim and Iris Foerster on March 27, 1943. She attended Milverton High School and spent most of her working career in retail, working for Sears and Robinson’s department stores.  Of course, her main vocation, which she excelled at, was raising her six children and her many feline friends.  In later years Diane enjoyed quiet times at the trailer, reading a good book, watching the birds that frequented her feeder and indulging the squirrels and chipmunks with peanuts.
