She was a devoted mother to Stacey, Melissa and Kyle and a deeply involved and loving grandmother to her nine grandchildren. Diann’s family was the heart of her world and she taught them all the importance of making others smile, working hard and never taking no for an answer. Her infectious laughter and the depth of her wine cabinet were a remedy for any trouble and a beacon of joy in the lives she touched.
Diann’s career was marked by her incredible versatility and determination. She navigated the business world with unmatched skill, leaving an indelible mark on every venture and undertaking from dental hygienist to real estate agent to insurance executive. Her strength and resilience were particularly evident as she bravely faced a prolonged illness, showing grace and courage until the very end.
Though Diann is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in the countless lives she influenced. She is now at peace leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter and unwavering strength.
