Diane Hemsworth

"The original Diane" was a special person and my spiritual mother for the last few years. Unwavering faith was evidently woven throughout all areas of her life. Hosting our weekly ladies group (with tea) delighted her and was worth the 45 minute drive for me and others. Within the last year, Diane surprised us with a special tea cup and saucer chosen especially for each one of us. What a treasure, now Savoring each sip with fond memories of our Diane.

The first memory of Diane that comes to mind...Diane and my mom (Catherine Eisengrein) on a Girl Scout trip to Peekskill Dude Ranch. Wow, our moms sure knew how to show us girls how to have fun! Such a blessing to have Diane in my life for such a long time...from scouts, to Bible studies in her home and women´s ministry events. Her fun-loving and Christ-loving life was an example to me.

I am sending my sincere sympathy to the family of Diane in her passing. There are many memories of her in her home on Sawyer Avenue and the many friends who lived her. She was admired for her faith and her love of Jesus.

I am so very sorry to hear of Dianne´s passing. I met Dianne many years ago through her home décor business, and over time she became someone I truly admired. Walking into her home and going down to her basement felt like stepping into a beautiful garden - flowers everywhere, candles burning, and the most unforgettable, heavenly scents that stayed with you long after you left. My friends and I would tell our husbands, "We´re going to Dianne´s," and they would immediately cringe, because they...

I met Diane in 2022 at a special dinner party and sat next to her and felt a special bond instantly. Diane walked in faith like no other. She is our Northway spiritual mother and will be missed dearly. She carried herself with class, truth and dignity and her love and faith for her Church, Family and Friends is what Diane was all about. My heart is broken but so happy she is in the arms of our loving Jesus.
