Diane was born April 21, 1965 in Wayne, Michigan, the daughter of Richard and Dolly Wejroch. Diane was the youngest of four children with three older brothers, Rick, Denny, and Bob. Diane graduated from Wayne Memorial High School in 1983 and went on to achieve her associate’s degree in nursing. Diane worked as a Registered Nurse at McLaren Macomb Hospital for over 20 years in multiple roles.
Diane married Michael McCoy on February 13, 1991, celebrating their 34th anniversary this year. Diane and Mike raised 5 children together, their sons Christopher, Robert and Sean, and their daughters Melisa and Eryn.
Diane especially cherished time spent with her grandkids and cruising Lake St. Clair on the boat she shared with Mike. She had a magnetic presence with friends and family naturally drawn to her radiant smile and infectious laugh. Ever the gracious host, Diane made it her mission to ensure everyone felt welcomed, cared for, and at ease.
Remaining to cherish Diane’s memory are her husband, Michael; her children: Robert (Lauren), Melisa (Justin), Sean (Sydney), and Eryn (Shelby); her grandchildren: Tyler, Gavin, Nolan, Connor, Alivia, and Josie; her brothers: Dennis, Robert, and Dan; her mother, Shirley; and her sisters: Jo Anne and Cyndi.
Preceding Diane’s death are her parents: Richard and Dolly Wejroch and Robert McCoy; her brothers: Richard Wejroch Jr. and Randy Gruszczynski; and her son, Christopher McCoy.
One of Diane’s wishes was to not have a funeral service. In absence of a funeral, her family will be holding a Celebration of Life memorial at a to-be-named date for friends and family.
Below is a poem her family would like to share in her memory:
A Limb Has Fallen
From the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says,
“Grieve Not for Me.
Remember the best times,
The laughter, the song.
The good life I lived,
While I was strong.
Continue my heritage,
I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely
The sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease,
My soul is at rest.
Remembering all,
How I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions,
No matter how small.
Go on with your life,
Don’t worry about falls.
I miss you all dearly,
So keep up your chin.
Until the day comes
We’re together again.”
