Diane was a long-time resident of the San Diego area. She loved her community, and especially the people in it. Diane was a kind, generous, and funny individual who loved making people laugh and who was passionate about helping people in need. She was an active and dedicated member of the El Cajon neighborhood where she lived and often volunteered and gave directly to the homeless.
Diane was known as a dedicated, hard-working employee of several businesses, including at Jackson Hewitt, as a seasonal tax preparer; at the Salvation Army, as a textiles processer and sales clerk for 16 years until 2012; at the El Cajon mobile home park where she resided, as an assistant manager; and at the adult store, where she worked for 24 years and was a manager at the time of her death.
Diane was an inspiration to her family and friends for her ability to always see the good in life and people. With a beautiful spirit and kind heart, she was loved by so many. She will be so deeply missed.
