Obituary for Dianne Blanche HAMULECKI (Schmidt)
HAMULECKI; Dianne Blanche
On Sunday, September 18, 2022, Dianne Hamulecki (nee Schmidt), of R. R. #1 Norwich, passed away suddenly as a result of a motor vehicle accident. She was in her 71st year.
She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Ted Hamulecki, and their four beloved children: Paul (Laura Thompson) of London, Julie (Adam Takacs) of Toronto, Mark (Sarah) of Sweaburg and Steven (Laura) of Foldens. She will be fondly remembered as the world’s most loving Grandma by her grandchildren Grant, Jenna, James and Connor.
She is also survived by her siblings: Roy Schmidt (Caroline Ghent) of Tavistock, Donna Lytwynec (Wally) of London, Arlene Jensen of Oxford Centre, Eric Schmidt (Janet) of Woodstock, and her brothers and sisters-in-law, Stan Hamulecki (Marion Kemp) and Tom Hamulecki (Charlotte) of Norwich, along with her much loved nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by her parents, Maurice and Illa (Bickle) Schmidt and her father and mother-in-law, Konstanty and Wanda Hamulecki.
Dianne was a giver.
Born at Stratford General Hospital in 1952, she grew up on a beef cattle farm in Tavistock. She cherished farm life, and it’s where her lifelong love of animals began. She went on to graduate from nursing college and worked as a registered nurse for close to 30 years, spending the majority of her career at London Psychiatric Hospital.
Following her nursing career, her entrepreneurial spirit sparked an interest in cottage real estate. It was important to her to work hard and build something she could be proud of and enjoy with her family, and she did – owning property in Bayfield where so many special memories were made.
Dianne loved travel and adventure, but she also cherished the simple things in life like spending time in nature and caring for animals that needed her. She was passionate about the environment and made it a priority to do her part for future generations.
More than anything else, Dianne loved family. Her family was everything to her and she was everything to them. She was so proud of her children – the people they turned out to be and all of their personal, professional and athletic accomplishments. When it came to her four grandchildren, the golf cart rides were long; the homemade forts impressive; and the games and practices attended with joy. She loved warmly and deeply and will be missed beyond belief.
A private family viewing and service will take place at the Arn-Lockie Funeral Home, 45 Main St. W., Norwich.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Canadian Blood Services or the Woodstock Kitten Nursery & Rescue would be appreciated by the family. Personal condolences can be posted at www.arn-lockiefuneralhome.com.
