Diane was an exemplary matriarch of her family; a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend,

grandmother and great grandmother. Her family was her greatest joy, and she devoted her life

to them with warmth, generosity and a quiet sense of humor. Though her family was spread

across the country, Diane made every effort to be present. She was always there for her

grandchildren, cheered from the sidelines at games, and was there for all major milestones.

Diane’s faith guided her kindness and strength. She was a devoted partner and caregiver to her

husband and her family. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.
