When she reached the Pearly Gates of Heaven she ran into the loving arms of her late husband, soulmate, best friend and the love of both her earthly and eternal life, Lawrence “LD” Hull. Those left behind to cherish her memory, continue her never-ending acts of kindness and to finish aggravating people, include her daughters Diane Porretto and Kimberlyn Diehl, her sons (as she never considered them in-laws), David Diehl, Stephen Porretto and Eric Daigle, grandsons Warren Farrell Jr and his wife Sophie, whom she loved as her granddaughter, Benjamin Diehl, great grandson Zane Farrell and great granddaughter Evangeline Farrell due in January. She is also survived by her nieces Margaret Garceau, Carolyn Groner, Carolyn Monte and Madeleine Vosbein. Her nephews Henry Vosbein, Phillip Vosbein, and Fischer Monte.
