Born in Natchez, Mississippi and residing in northern New Jersey for most of her life, she moved to Manchester in 1998 to be close to her family.
Diane is survived by her son, Bob; her daughter-in-law, Patty; and grandchildren, Nicole and Sean; along with her great granddaughter, Alessia.
Diane is predeceased by her father, Herman; mother, Esther; sister, Shirley; and brother-in-law, Lowell.
Diane found her happiest moments in time spent with her loved ones, in volunteering for the hospital, and singing with her chorus, The Westernaires. She had a deep love for people, for music, for art, for animals, travel, holiday baking, watching her grandchildren grow, for joy and laughter.
