Diane was at her happiest when surrounded by her family, and she cherished the time spent with her loved ones.
Diane is survived by her three daughters: Allison VanHouten-Houlihan, Amy VanHouten-Riker (Scott d. 2022), and Alana VanHouten. She is also survived by her former husband, Richard VanHouten. Her legacy lives on through her grandchildren: Katelyn VanHouten, Andrew Hill, Vanessa Farbent Hill, Dante VanHouten, Kendra Riker, and Rachel Houlihan. She also leaves behind two great-grandchildren, Sophia and Trey. Diane is further survived by her companion of 16 years, Eugene Reid, and her best friend, Marilyn Posavetz.
Arrangements will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
