11/3/1936 – 8/24/2020
Littleton, Colorado
Diana was born and raised in Trinidad, Colorado. She graduated from Trinidad State Junior College in 1956. Soon after, she was married to Robert Mauney III, also of Trinidad, and they moved to Boulder where Bob attended the University of Colorado. They later moved to the Denver area where both worked until children Linda and Brian were born. Diana was always the busy room mother and PTA member at the kids’ schools, and an avid supporter of all their extra-curricular activities and sports.
In later years, she and Bob became very active in Friends of Historical Trinidad, a non-profit group dedicated to the preservation of historic landmarks in their home town, a famous stop on the Santa Fe Trail. She devoted many years as FHT Secretary, and publisher of the bi-annual newsletter. She loved writing the newsletter, keeping the members “in the loop” with Trinidad, featuring members and/or Trinidad residents’ achievements, the current events, as well as FHT collaborative preservation projects in association with History Colorado.
She was a big Bronco’s fan, and also championed the game of lacrosse, a game that Bob helped to grow in Colorado as an official. Today, son Brian and grandson Hugo both officiate lacrosse games. Grandchildren Hugo and Estelle are both current players, keeping the legacy going!
She is survived by her children, Linda (Littleton), and Brian (Denver), his wife Janee, and grandchildren Hugo and Estelle. Her favorite times were the years she spent as “Gram” / Nanny to Hugo and Estelle, her grandchildren were her pride and joy! Diana had a ready smile for everyone, was super positive and out-going. She did not know the meaning of the word “No”, was always eager to help in any way. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Friends of Historical Trinidad or to St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church.
