It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, godmother, niece, cousin and friend; Dea (Diamanto).
Dea succumbed on Monday, January 26th, 2026, to her brave 5-year health battle, surrounded by her loved ones.
Born in Patras, Greece on April 18th, 1961, to Alexander and her late mother, Despina. Dea leaves behind her father Alexander, her brother Chris, sister-in-law Diana, two beautiful nieces Stephanie and Christina and a whole host of others that will miss her greatly.
This raven haired, dark eyed beauty was as sweet and tender as she was tenacious and passionate. She loved fiercely and unconditionally.
She had her opinions and held on to her convictions. She was loyal and true. She was easy going and fun loving. She loved the simple things in life; a day out with a friend sipping a frappé on the Danforth or just listening to her Greek music and watching Greek telenovelas.
Quite simply … this was Dea. To have known her is to have been enveloped in her spirit and be swept up in her child-like enthusiasm for life and adventure.
It is heartbreakingly difficult to say good-bye but for those of us that watched her struggle in these last few years, we do so with a sense of peace knowing that she can rest at last.
In Lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Diabetes Canada.
