It is with great sadness that Diane Deans’ husband, Ron Richards, daughter, Megan  McGovern and grandson, Evan, announce her passing on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. 




Diane died peacefully surrounded by family following a 5-year battle with ovarian  cancer.  

Despite her diagnosis, Diane continued to live every day to its fullest with a  fighting spirit, unwavering tenacity, courage and compassion.  

She served as an Ottawa City Councillor for 28 years and, even after her diagnosis,  Diane continued to fight for issues of importance to Ottawa residents and leaving  an indelible mark on countless people’s lives.
