Born Dec. 31, 1941 in Kenosha, WI., she was the daughter of the late John and Florence (Lozkiewicz) Perry.
Diane, known as Kim to most people, moved her family from Kenosha to Boulder, Colorado in the 1980s and worked for the University of Colorado at Norlin Library before retiring to Florida in the late 1990s. Diane loved visiting the beaches in Sarasota and spending time with her grandchildren there.
Diane is survived by two sons, James D. Beam of Tarpon Springs, Fla. and Douglas J. Beam of Tigard, Ore.; one daughter, Jamelle Fah of Sarasota, Fla.; sisters Nancy Antos and Marilyn Berrong; brothers John Perry and Donnie Perry; and six grandchildren, Courtney, Brie, Ada, Oriana, Alan, and Sara.
She will be missed.
