After graduating from high school, Diane went to work for Ralston Purina as secretary to the president. On November 26, 1966, she married William Lloyd Ridley, who also preceded her in death. They had two sons: Lloyd, who preceded her in death, and Daniel, who survives.
After her children entered school, Diane returned to the workforce, starting at H&R Block as a tax preparer. As she climbed the ladder of success, she moved on to Lennox and later the Department of Defense. She loved accounting, but Lee, Lloyd, and Daniel were the loves of her life. That love and those memories will be cherished always.
Diane is survived by her son Daniel and his fiancée Judy; a grandson, Alexander; her sister, Kate; and several nieces and nephews.
