Shared from Ian Manheimer’s page for those of you who knew Dianne Mandan:
I've been hesitating but also wanting to make this post.
For those of you, that knew my amazing mom Dianne Mandan , will be holding a celebration of life for her on May 31st (which was her birthday)
This will be held at Vancouver Lake Park Eagle Shelter starting in the afternoon. Probably around 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. and going until people leave. (There is no time limit)
My mom loved community and family. She loved talking, visiting, laughing and sharing a meal together.
We will have some music and games available for people to enjoy.
We will have an open mic for people who want to share their thoughts and memories, and of course in true fashion food!
She loved potlucks. We will provide food and drinks, but we also encourage people to bring and share a favorite meal, snack, dessert, etc (and of course stories)
We are requesting this is a drug and alcohol-free event.(Anyone arriving/appearing under the influence will be asked to leave)
Yes, kids and families are welcome (my mom loved and adopted EVERYONE).
This is just a day to celebrate and remember the amazing human that my mom was! She was truly one of a kind and anybody who had a chance to meet her would probably agree!
If any of you that knew her are interested in helping out, please reach out and let me know.
If you have any pictures or memories you would like to share, please send them my way.
Also, please RSVP and let me know if you plan on attending so I can make sure we have enough water /drinks /food to go around.
