Di might have been small in stature, but she was larger than life. She was loud, she quirky, she had a quick wit and wicked sense of humour. This is what you saw when you first met her, but by really getting to know her, you quickly found out that her heart of gold, her honour and integrity, and her loyalty and love for her family and friends far outweighed any first impressions. Di has been a huge part of my life, I will miss her, but she will be forever in all our hearts.
Deepest sympathies to Col, Greg, Scott, and their families.
Craig, Mandy, William, and Lachlan.

A beautiful lady,with a heart of gold💖💖
You welcomed many in to you home, full of laughter and smiles.
The fishing and the race to catch the biggest one, the bird watching where , we had so be silent in which was hard when we were kids 😉.
The weekly phone calls talking about our travels around Australia,
So many memories will always hold that special place in our hearts.

Love always and ever

Nanni Di – After the interesting times we have lived through over the past year, I was reminded of the people who have had an impact in my life. Both you and Poppy Col were strongly brought to mind. I had hoped to reach out and reconnect and am sorry that I missed the chance to tell you, how much I appreciated your love and support to Jesse, Matthew and Cameron.
Sincere condolences to Colin and family.

To Col, Scott, Greg, Troy and Nateesha and all your families we send our condolences

My heart is so torn that I cannot be here today………. Nanny Di is………… What can I say, one of the strongest, kindest, put everyone else first kind of ladies I have ever known. Growing up Nan and Pop were like our second mum and dad. Just about every weekend we would be out, with nan and pop. All the years we had for looking for new places to ride our bikes throughout all of Wentworth, the drives to visit family around the Sunraysia area in the little pocket rocket Torana flying down the road with radio so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves, whilst listening the ‘Baby makes the blue jeans talk’, Kasey chambers, Graceland and so much more.
To the many trips we had from home all up the east coast and all through the south-south eastern suburbs of our Victorian homeplaces for all the various holiday adventures camping, hoteling staying with family, whatever we had going on. If not for nan and pop we would never have got to meet the awesome family members of the Stewarts and beyond, plus a lot of the country we stayed at, just a real opportunity I will forever be grateful for. Even the outings for a fun time and doing what Di-Di did best was helping and volunteering at the places that we would visit like the Perri sand hills or the Areomophola patch fence repairing for the bird clubs.
Where there was water, you could guarantee di-di would have a rod ready……. if you didn’t have your rod in the water look out!! Be there a long weekend or a school holiday we’d be there with the bells on our rods waiting for our next trip to the river. Some of the best stories I still tell today are from trips like these. Cameron would be tied to a tree with a rope and a leash, we would go finding the biggest tress we could and climb around them, I’d even find a dead turtle to which to my excitement needed to tell everyone about it, Nanny says to me “Don’t you dare go near that with your new boots”!!! what would any kid do? Stomp it right?! Yeah, I stomped it, man what a stink……sorry Nan, that was one hell of a stink, lmao.
The stories we would tell each night, some stories like, the rockets we were going to build to go to the moon and back from all the household goods available in the house. Stories that Nan would convince us that if she were going to pass, she’d say “I’ll be back as just a head, just to haunt you little buggers”. To full blown theatrics to which Cameron, Matthew and I would do complete acts of something stupid for nan in her back laundry/veranda. Caring for all us grandkids at the drop of a hat, bringing us all together, making sure we were all ok in every situation. The selflessness is beyond measurable.
The time it would take to tell the full tale would be endless but WOW that’d be a great story to read, it was the best life to have. I can’t thank you enough Nanny and of course Poppy Col for the love, caring we had growing up……. I thank you for the adventures that you brought us along on, each one new and exciting and a bundle of laughs. I would never change any of it for anything.
I Love you Nan, I love you all here today and those that are attending via stream.
RIP Nan
Jesse (Stewart) Fox and family xx

Nanny Di, a beautiful, happy, loving, caring person that will be missed.
I have the best memories spending time with you and Poppy Col up at Wentworth. We always had the best fun fishing, camping, bird watching and chasing storms for photos. The name code wallop for Scotty will always remind me of you.
