Diane L Gazzigli

May 23, 1943 - October 16, 2011

Diane Louise Gazzigli passed peacefully in her sleep at home after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. There will be a small gathering of family, close friends and neighbors at her residence Saturday, October 22nd from 1pm to 4pm. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Haven Humane Society on her behalf.

Born Diane Louise Verna to Louis and Virginia Verna, she is survived by two brothers in Southern California Ron and Glenn Verna along with their families. She will also be missed by her three sons: Tony, Mark and Mike Gazzigli. Diane has five grandchildren here in Redding named Brandon, Christopher, Nicholas, Gzianna and Alexandria... all with her same last name.

Diane's ex-husband and father of her children Ralph "Sonny" Gazzigli predeceased her by some two decades. Sonny was the brother of local attorney Joe Gazzigli.

Other than a few neighbors who she swore used her street as a dragstip (LOL) - most everyone who knew her loved and appreciated her for her honesty and generosity. Although she spent most of her working career behind a desk in Southern California, she spent the last 15 years of her "semi-retirement" providing home health support services to numerous families here in Shasta County. She was well known among her employers and clients as being a loving caring person who always gave more than given. Aside from her family, her passions were her yard and her animals. Her loving kindness has touched many of us- we will strive to pass on her ability to express unconditional love. Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend... she will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.

We love you mom...
