Diane found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved tending to her garden, expressing her
creativity through painting and searching for unique treasures on Facebook Marketplace. Above all,
she treasured her time spent with her family. Whether gathered around the table for game nights,
sharing stories and laughter or simply enjoying each other’s company, those moments brought her the
greatest happiness.
She will be remembered for the love she gave so freely, the kindness she showed to others and the
unwavering devotion she had for her family. Her warm smile, caring heart, and the memories she
created with those she loved will be cherished forever. Though her presence will be deeply missed,
her love and legacy will continue to live in the hearts of all who knew her.
Per her wishes, the family has chosen cremation. No funeral arrangements have been
planned, but a small memorial service will be held at a later date.
