She was the daughter of the late Trilby Rayner Morales and the late Carlos Albert Morales, Jr. and sister of Charmaine Morales Pavur (Joseph). Godmother and aunt of Joey Pavur, III (girlfriend Jen) and Johnny Pavur (Robyn). Dianne was born November 23, in New Orleans, where she graduated from St. James Major High School.

She counseled many nursing students who have gone on to excel and perform as some of our finest nurses to this day. She loved and really cared for the students. She was a kindhearted, genteel person who bore a beautiful smile and loved her godchildren, cousins, and was a very special aunt to her nieces and nephews. She dearly loved animals, especially her pets, Bailey, Krissie and Angel, treating them as her furry children. She enjoyed travelling, attending numerous plays, operas, and musicals. Dianne was an avid fan of the New Orleans Saints, from their inception to the present. After Hurricane Katrina, Dianne lived in Carencro, LA, faithfully caring for her mother and returned later to live in Covington, LA.
