Dianne's obituary

Dianne Marjorie Towey, 68, passed away in Honolulu, Hawaii on December 26, 2020. Dianne said that for her, the pandemic has been like a cocoon, a time of quiet reflection where a lot of the chatter had fallen away and she was left with an overwhelming love for life and the wonderful creatures in it. For those of us who loved her, when the chatter has fallen away, we are left with memories of someone fiercely passionate about her life and those in it. The blunt force of her relentless generosity, pure grit and blinding love were tempered by the subtleties of her intellect, wit and elegance. She was also a chimera, an impossible amalgamation of brilliant traits that could never peacefully coexist for long. One thing we all share is memories of times when that passionate radiance was focused on each one of us and we stepped into her fantastical, ephemeral world. Once we stepped back out, our own senses were somehow heightened, whether it's the way we look at a piece of art, or a rainbow or a haiku, we feel that little flame of excitement with which Dianne experienced the world.
