Diem Saunders Has Died: We are really sad to bring about the news of Diem Saunders passing today Friday, September 10, 2021. A kind-loving person. This death was confirmed by our search team from a publication made on Facebook pouring out tributes and condolence messages to the family and friends.

So sad to learn Diem (Delilah) Saunders has passed.
I met Diem at the 1st National Roundtable on #MMIWG2S with their parents fighting for justice for their sister Loretta Saunders, murdered in 2014.
Hosted the family here in MB at MMIWG2S gatherings.
Diem was fierce, amazing and devoted to seeking justice for their sister Loretta.
The MMIWG2S community of families and advocates across Canada is one big family.
We feel these loses immensely.
Sending out love and strength to all our relatives across our territories as we digest the news of Diem’s death; alongside, the death of our brother Kyle.
Rest in Power.

Tributes To Diem Saunders

Across social media users’ timelines are statements that show respect, admiration, and gratitude towards Saunders as people mourn the passing.

I saw social media posts early on Wednesday about Diem Saunders (formerly Delilah Saunders). I did not know Diem. I want only to be respectful and to acknowledge their life, their voice, and their work as well as the unfathomable loss that this family is having to endure once again.
Diem Saunders was the sibling of Loretta Saunders, an Inuk woman from Labrador who was murdered in Halifax in 2014. Diem became an advocate for other families of missing and murdered Indigenous women. They faced their own serious health issues (liver failure at 25) and gave birth to a son early during the pandemic.
Diem was twenty-nine years old.
I am helping Diem Saunders’ Indigenous kin travel to Labrador. I hope others in my circles will do the same.
