Dianne DeMello Obituary

Dianne L. DeMello, 77 of Au Gres, Mich. (formerly of Readfield, Maine, Cabin Creek, Mont., and the South Shore of Mass.), died on Thursday, November 2, 2017, at St. Mary's Hospital in Saginaw, Mich., after a short illness. Born November 1, 1940, in Quincy, Mass., she was the daughter William and Merriel (Pratt) Falconer of Cohasset, Mass. Dianne was a devoted wife to her husband Ray and a mother to six children. She was employed as a supervisor at the Senator Inn located in Augusta, Maine, for many years. She also assisted on the family poultry farm raising 62,000 chickens every 7 weeks. Always an active learner, in recent years she had been taking courses through the University of Maine and was nearing completion of her associate's degree in General Studies. Dianne enjoyed cooking, baking and was a wiz at crossword puzzles. She was a very involved mother and was an ongoing source of wisdom for her children. She never missed a birthday, anniversary, or holiday, always sending cards with a special handwritten note. Ray and Dianne moved to Au Gres a few years ago to spend time with their oldest son and enjoyed a cottage on a waterway connected to Lake Huron. She loved sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife and boats on the river. Survivors include her husband of 58 years Raymond A. DeMello; and her six children, Dana DeMello (Jamie), Brian DeMello (Carole), Alan DeMello (Jill), Barbara Verzillo (Ray), Mark DeMello (Kelly), Kim Brann (Pat); fifteen grandchildren, Danielle, Lacy, William, Craig, Brandon, Heather, Brianna, Barry, Joshua, Megan, Ana, Salina, Karina, Jacob and Julia; great-granddaughters, Charlotte, Meredith, and Harlow; great-grandsons, Owen, Billy and Abel. Services will be held at a later date at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne, Mass.
