Diane was beloved by her family, friends and coworkers at O'bleness Hospital where she worked for 33 years. She was a cherished colleague and was known for her excellent skills as a surgical technician, a mentor, a caregiver, a role model, and always provided an element of fun and humor.

She enjoyed cooking, gardening, nice dinners out, especially Mexican, and most of all, going to the beach.  Her most treasured time was spent with her family and friends laughing and loving as well as relaxing with a book on the front porch with a glass of white wine.  She will be missed dearly but never forgotten.
