Her love extended to her family, surviving her are her spouse Ron Huber; daughters Heather Vachek, Jennifer Beems, and Kimberly Ellis; and grandchildren Isabel Rivera, Quinton Beems, and Morgan Beems and sister Robin Beardsley. She was preceded in death by her son, Zachary Huber.

Diane relished in simple pleasures like Dairy Queen ice cream cones, word searches, and crossword puzzles, and was an avid baseball fan. Her visits to the Oregon Coast were times of joy and relaxation, embracing the beauty of nature and exploring the quaint shops.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and the importance of family. Diane will be deeply missed by all who knew her and remembered lovingly for her vibrant spirit and heartfelt care for others.
