Diana Jean Wescoupe (nee Longclaws)

Diane Wescoupe sadly passed away on November 5, 2026, at the Health Sciences Center at the age of 73 years.

She will be lovingly remembered by her son Jamie Wescoupe; siblings Ernie (Molly) Longclaws, Harold (Sarah) Longclaws and Judy (Kirby) Grothe; grandchildren Jessie, Jade, Ernie, Carl Jr. and Mariah along with special friend Chris and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was predeceased by her son Carl Wescoupe, daughter Holly Longclaws, mother Clara Longclaws, father James Walker, brother Gary Longclaws and grandparents Jerry and Clara Longclaws.

Diana was the eldest daughter to James Walker and Clara Longclaws. She was raised up in Glenboro, MB along with her 3 siblings. During her teenage years, they relocated to the USA and resided in Bend, Oregon with the Parson family for a number of years. Diana was a work-a-holic, she was constantly busy working in telemarketing, janitorial services at Long Plain school and Band office and more recently in the Ministry. She also spent countless hours volunteering for many different causes. Diana wanted to return to Long Plain First Nation, as one of her last wishes. She was in the planning stages to fulfill this wish but due to the rapid progression of her illness she was unable to make it happen.

She loved watching movies, shopping, and playing on her phone. Diana loved to joke around with her family and mostly loved spending time with her loved ones.

Diana’s siblings say she was like a second mom to them, and she will be terribly missed.
