It is with many emotions that the Scrobe family announce the passing of beloved wife and mother, Diane Scrobe.
Diane passed away quietly in her sleep on February 24th, 2026 at the General Hospital in Regina. She was predeceased by her parents Traval and Mildred McDonald, and older sister Darlene. She was part of so many lives and her kindness will be deeply missed by us all. She is survived by her loving husband Eugene, sons Aaron (Erin) and Ashley (Mamiko), sister Donna, and grandchildren Lukas and Logan.
Born on October 27th, 1950 in Preeceville, Saskatchewan, Diane and her family spent their younger years living in rural Saskatchewan including Hazel Dell and Reserve where Diane’s father worked for The Pas Lumber Company. The family eventually moved to Regina where she attended and graduated high school. In 1970 she married the love of her life Eugene with whom she would go on to celebrate 55 anniversaries together. In the following years Diane and Eugene began a family in Regina before moving to Dysart, Saskatchewan in 1981 to operate the local grocery store and meat cutting shop. It was in the community of Dysart that she found her home and would go on to spend her remaining years while becoming an integral part of the community.
In the years following retirement from the grocery business, Diane would work as an insurance agency administrator for Wheatland Agencies in Cupar for nearly thirty years, as well as becoming a post-mistress for the Dysart Post office. She took great pride and enjoyment in being involved in community groups: The Dysart and District Historical Society, the Dysart Golden Years Club, as well as being involved in the Lutheran Church in Lipton, Saskatchewan. Over the years of being involved in many parts of the community, Diane developed many close friendships which she cherished deeply.
Diane will be forever remembered for her warm smile, her generous heart, and the tremendous affection she had for her family and friends. While we will miss her greatly, we will also be forever grateful for the memories and time we had with her.
As per Diane’s wishes, a service where her ashes will be laid to rest as well as a celebration of life will be held in June in Dysart, Saskatchewan, as she did not want people to have to travel in the cold winter months.
