Patricia “Diane” Rock

September 27, 2019

With broken hearts and extreme sadness, the family of Patricia “Diane” Rock announce her sudden passing in her 53rd year. She leaves behind the light of her life, her deeply cherished daughter Kennedy. Diane is the much loved daughter of Patricia and the late Garry Rock. Adored partner and best friend of Scott Denomy. Loving sister to Darlene and Shawn Doe, David and Heather (Weis), and Denise Rock. Diane was an incredible and supportive aunt to Michael (Lindsay), Brittany, Koen, and Joshua. She was so important to Tyler Stevens, Tyson, Josh and Corey Patrick, and Gary and Brandon Flonders. Diane had a heart of gold and would do anything for her family and friends. She will be missed by her family and she was loved more than she ever knew. A visitation will be held on Wednesday from 5:00 ~ 9:00 p.m. at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, where a funeral service will be conducted on Thursday, October 3, 2019 at 11:00 a.m., with visitation one hour prior. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Diane are asked to consider the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or The Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Diane, I've been struggling the last few days to understand and comprehend your passing. I'm very thankful that Jenn and Macy came for a visit this weekend and gave me something to occupy my mind. We became friends at work, but if you're lucky, very lucky, you can count on one hand those that become friends out side of work...and you were one. You have given 150% to everything you did, whether it was looking after your mom, taking care of the house, looking after your residents, raising your daughter, celebrating friends and family accomplishments or being a shoulder to lean on in sorrow. You exuded pride in your nieces and nephews as if they were your own children but you shone from the inside out when you spoke of Kennedy, your biggest and brightest joy. Any truly, you had every reason to be proud of her. She's an exceptional girl. At our last lunch date, you spoke of future plans and it made my heart happy to hear them. I will miss your laughter, your smile, which was beautiful, but mostly I'll miss the friendship and catching up on life and loves. They say every time a dragonfly visits, it's a loved one in heaven coming to visit. I expect to see lots of you. I know when I look up at the night sky, the biggest and brightest star will be you...after all, you always gave 150% and I expect you'll still be doing the same. XO

Deepest sympathies and love to the Rock family. I will always appreciate the love and understanding she had for me. Kind and funny and beautiful is how I will remember her. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for her relationship with Josh. She and Pat are such great female role models for him. Her smile said it all about the great persons she was.

Diane , I am still in shock about your passing. I've had a very difficult time processing this .... it doesn't seem real to me yet . I can see u everywhere I go at work and can her your voice and your chipper " hi girls" as u fly through the halls . We became friends a few years back after working together for years and u forever were a shoulder for me to cry on . And I thank u . U were probably the hardest worker at work and I am just very sad to know I won't see u anymore . U were a wonderful person , friend , and your most treasured role... mother . Rest easy Diane . I will miss u

We met Diane first as thirteen year old neighbour on our new street in July 1980 , she and her family were the first to welcome us to our home, still there 39 years later. Diane showed the same characteristics from that day forward. No one could have been a better and more caring person. She always had time for others, to help, to talk, to share, a way of life that she had learned from her parents. Diane had a fine sense of humour and was realistic about life and its opportunities. Her passing leaves a feeling of emptiness for many including ourselves but thinking of her will bring smiles of happiness to our faces and warmth to our hearts as she led by example. We will truly miss her.

Scott & the Rock family - Our thoughts and sympathies are with you during this difficult time. Todd, Teresa, Kate & Carlee Vance

Pat and family we are so shocked and sorry to read of Diane's passing. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you all. May your memories help you through this difficult time and always. Marlene(Bullock) and Garry Harris

~ Marlene Harris

We will miss the sound of the lawn mower, the chats over the fence and an invitation to swim on a hot day. You were the one who inspired us as neighbours to help those who couldn't help themselves. Your sudden passing is a gentle reminder to all of us as to how precious life is - Love and Prayers for your family and friends.

~ Brenda and Daley

I was so deeply shocked and saddened to hear the news of Diane's passing. I met her many years ago when I worked at Cameo Hairstyling , then years later saw her almost every year at the Crohns Gutsy walk & brunch where she would be out to support family. I know Kennedy and her family meant the world to her and I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her . My sympathies to you all. May you find much love & strength from family and friends through this heartbreaking time.

~ Carrie Brophey

We are so saddened to lose Diane, taken so early in life. We knew her as son Scott's loving partner. She was truly loved by everyone she touched. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to her family members and cherished friends.
