Obituaries

Diane was born in Bucyki, Poland and immigrated to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in August 1971 with her daughter Ela. She married Steve Zolc and his children were blessed to have her as their mother.

Diane was a talented seamstress and worked at the CanaDay’s in Moose Jaw for a number of years and then transitioned to sewing curtains and drapes in Regina, Saskatchewan. Her extraordinary skill became well known and her drapes were decorating many show homes and prominent homes.

Diane was an active member of St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church. She was always available to help those who were ill, needed a ride, a meal or to join the ladies in the community to make perogies and cabbage rolls. Diane was also available to help families immigrate from Poland by helping them find homes, jobs, filling out paperwork, meals or rides.

If you ever visited her home, you would have seen her yard in full bloom and a garden producing in abundance.

Diane never missed her children’s or grandchildren’s events. She was always there supporting her family at extracurricular activities. She always attended weddings, baptisms and baby showers.

Diane was predeceased by her husband Steve Zolc; her parents Eugene and Paulina Tegoborski; her brother Dolo Tegoborski; her sister Lucy Nutley; son Richard Zolc; daughters-in-law Bonnie Zolc and Judy Zolc; and grandson Ryan Oyka.

Diane is survived by her children Linda (Steve) Janke, Elwood (Gayle) Zolc, Ela (Robert) McGill, Don (Johanne) Zolc and Sylvia (Dean) Lusok; grandchildren Amber, Kesha, Amanda, Jill, Crystal, Hope, Macey, Ryan, Colin, Laura, Evan, Chris and Brenden; great-grandchildren Naomi, Garet, Madison, Jack, Brennan, Brielle, Emma-Lou, Aurora, Yorke, Charlie, Walker, Payton, Megan, Cache, Steele, Cari-Anne, Jackson, Brooklyn, Molly, Penelope, Marek, Judah, Charis, Cassidy, Elisa and Wells; great-great-grandchild Rylar.
