We lost our beloved Mother and Matriarch of our family, Diane Circe on December 14, 2023, following a short illness. She was 92.

Diane was born on December 9, 1931, in Iberville, Quebec to Benjamin and Corine (Gamache) Greendale. While working at Proctor Silex, she met the love of her life Rheal Guy Circe. They married on August 30, 1952. In 1956, they moved to Vermont so that Rheal could follow his passion and build homes. In 1962 Diane and Rheal built their home in Colchester where they raised three children and where they lived their entire life until their passing.

As a young woman Diane learned early on what it meant to take care of family and what hard work could accomplish, often helping her parents with her brother who was severely injured in a workplace accident. Her incredible work ethic most certainly derived from her mother and her father Ben, who was quite an entrepreneur making extra income while also working for the Crane corp. which is where Diane got her 1st job working alongside her father.

This is the way she lived her life, caring for family, friends and neighbors and never asked for anything. She also worked from home as a Housewife, a talented seamstress, making countless garments, gowns and dresses., along with childcare of her some of her nieces and nephews', children and several others over the years.

We are all so grateful for her wisdom, her strong straight forward advice and also teaching us the importance of loving, helping and taking care of family. Even though we know she is in a better place in Heaven, our hearts are broken. She will be eternally missed. We love you and God bless Mom.

Diane is survived by her three children, Guy Circe, his wife Kelly, Lucy Circe, and Robert Circe Sr and Donna Circe. Six grandchildren, Robert Circe Jr. and partner Kasey, Dustin Circe and his wife Casey, Chelsea Campbell and her husband Tony Campbell, Joshua and his significant other Jenna, Evan Circe, and his wife Caitlin Elizabeth Furlong Blake, Shayne Circe and his significant other Danell. Five great grandchildren, Oliver, Charles, Elanor, Wrenley, Margot and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Rheal in 2009, and numerous siblings and their spouses.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, January 6, 2024 at 11:00am at Holy Cross Church, Colchester. Burial will follow in Holy Cross Cemetery.
