It is with great sadness for the family of Diane Marie Cobham, wife of Percy, of Fredericton Junction share that she passed away on June 21, 2025 at the Oromocto Public Hospital.  She was the daughter of the late Willard and Laura Amero of Plympton, NS.

Diane was a devoted wife, step-mother, grandmother and aunt.
