Family was a word Diane did not take for granted. She loved her husband Alan dearly and cherished every second with her children and grandchildren. Diane loved to babysit her grandchildren and spent as much time with them as possible. She was a strong woman who wore many hats in her family. She was a fine cook, an excellent baker, an organizer of family get-togethers, a counselor, and her children’s and grandchildren’s biggest fan. Diane was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching all levels of competition. She spent countless hours crocheting afghans, sewing and shortening clothing for her family, reading books and working in her flower garden. Diane was a patient, kind, smart and loving woman.
