Read MoreIt's hard finding out things like this through the internet but I just want all of you to know (Mrs. Papp, Frankie, Larry, Denny, Terry and Tommy) she was a light in everyone's life. Being away from the area for so many years NEVER changes the memories I have of all the Good times at the Papp's. She will be truly missed.
All my thoughts and love.

I did not live on your block, but hung out often with Barb McGlaughlin and all of you. We shared a great, adventurous time. Diane was the only girl in the family, like Barb. Great memories. My heart goes out to all of your family. With sincerest sympathy.May she be at peace.

There is a huge void in our lives since you have gone from us to be with the Lord. We miss you so much, though we know you will rest in peace. How we loved our Sunday football games with you, all the ways you brought the family together, your childlike spirit, and how you taught us that family was the most important thing in life! You will always be in our hearts.
With all our love, Tom and Janice

I worked with Diane while at Ingalls for nearly 10 years. She had a personality that was endearing. She worked so hard… left work and worked a second job. Diane was a delight to be around, with a contagious sense of humor. She had such a great laugh. I was heartened by her genuine interest in me and my family over the years.
Diane brought a sense of strength and pride to our workplace, wrapped it in a caring heart and delivered it all those around her. Santa would be hard...
