The loss of Diane still doesn’t seem real to us. You hear people say how someone lit up a room but it wasn’t until Dwayne introduced me to his cousin Diane that I truly understood that saying. I will always remember her and her engaging smile. I truly believe Diane never met a stranger. She was a daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife,  but to us she was a cousin we loved very much. We are clinging to those happy memories to bring peace and comfort and pray that all who loved her are able to as well. Diane’s sparkling personality will live on in all our hearts.
Dwayne & Lynette

MY NAME IS JERRY EPLEY.  I USE TO WORK AT NUMATICS ON MILFORD RD. IN HIGHLAND, MICHIGAN. I MET DIANE WHEN I WORKED AT NUMATICS. I REMEMBER WHEN SHE STARTED AT NUMATICS. I THINK SHE WAS IN THE PURCHASING DEPT. WHEN SHE STARTED.  DIANE WAS A NICE YOUNG LADY WHEN I MET HER. I HAVE BEEN RETIRED FOR 23 YEARS FROM NUMATICS. MY CONDOLENCES TO HER HUSBAND AND FAMILY.  RIP DIANE.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Although the family members probably don't know me, Diane took me under her wing when I started at Numatics in 1991 working on the inside order desk until I moved to outside sales. She was a lovely woman. Fun, energetic and so nice and patient with my young self. Funny we are the same age, as I always looked up to her as a mentor and base of so much knowledge about Numatics products and pneumatic technology. I've said many times throughout my career, that Numatics taught me everything I know about industrial sales and process' as well as so much about pneumatics technology and Diane was a large part of me becoming passionate about the industrial pneumatics market.

I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Diane for 10 years during my tenure as commodity manager for ASCO-Numatics Novi.    She was a wonderful person full of humor and generosity.  I am forever in her debt for her patience and knowledge.  Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.   I know she will be missed.

Best Regards, 
Chris Myers

Diane give a big hug to Joyce when you see her 💗

Jeff and family,  I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and step-mother. 

Diane was a wonderful neighbor from the moment we moved in over 25 years ago.  She was a hard-working woman who also knew how to enjoy life... big moments and the small, simple ones too.    I will miss chatting in the yard with her about the bluebirds, or the latest power outage, or the garden, or a trip to Florida, or really anything.  I will truly miss Diane's big heart and her generosity. 
    
My deepest condolences to all who loved Diane.
