Diane M. Couture

My name is William (Bill) R. Delzell and I knew Diane Couture as a colleague at the James Shea Memorial Library of American International College in Springfield, MA, from her arrival in the fall of 1984 until her departure in the fall of 1987. She did acquisitional work at our library and was very helpful to me. I have long since moved on to Albuquerque, NM, where I work as a note-taker for the Accessibility Resources Department of Central New Mexico Community College. I did not know of...

So much has changed in the world since November 2018. Things are very different now. I can't help but wonder how Diane would have reacted to it all. Diane was always up for a good challenge and these last few years have been nothing if not challenging. I'm sure Diane's response to today's world would be spirited, imaginative and utterly original.

Still think of Diane every day. Miss her, but feel blessed to have known her.

Diane was a kind young woman. My deepest condolences to her family.

I will remember Diane as a person with an intense curiosity about the world and an enthusiasm for self improvement and new experiences. Whether it was learning about Roman architecture, dinosaurs, music history, Latin, calligraphy, photography, polar exploration, and dozens of other pursuits, Diane studied and learned them all. Her mind was like a sponge, soaking in all the information she could lay her hands on. Probably the most active public library user I have ever known, her reading...

Diane sat in the cube next to mine at Griggs-Anderson Research, she was always fun to talk with about the widest variety of subjects. She loved pie, we got together yearly to share Pie Day & eat pie.

Dianne was always kind and smart. She welcomed me with an Arizona Iced Tea. I worked with her for the Commonwealth of Mass. She really cared about other people. A heart of gold.

so very sorry ,my she rip
