Diane Pierreuse

Diane brought the light into every room. We miss you Diane! Love, Kit & Diane

I met Diane through a jogging club. She was an inspiration and so much fun to be with. She and Manu stayed with me when they returned from their French wedding. Manu was a blessing to my friend and It was touching to see their love story. Christa Jewett Stahl

Diane - I have lovely memories of happy times with you - skiing, biking and partying with the Torrey Pines Ski Club. You were always a cheerful, joyous, caring person to be around. I enjoyed your surprise telephone call and am glad we were able to connect again after all these years. Blessings to all in your family.

To spend any time at all with Diane was to have your spirits lifted. It is clear from these notes that she was a wonderful teacher, which is no surprise at all. I'm grateful for that and grateful for the time together at THS.

Diane and I first met as young teenagers. Our families became fast friends and we spent countless hours playing music at their home. Diane on coronet, Gretchen on saxophone, me on trombone and their mom on piano. We used the old combo-orch books and had a great time.
We have kept in touch over the years through e-mails and seeing each other at reunions, playing in what was left of the Tucson High Marching 100.
My wife Carol and I will miss her bright spirit and smile.

Reading of Diane's death today in the latest THS Badger Nation News hit me like a ton of bricks. Diane's joyful disposition was without equal. Her buoyant personality and charm will be greatly missed.
At the THS class of 1959 50th Reunion, one of the highlights was seeing and hearing Diane play her cornet, with the addition of many classmates, just as she did as part of the THS Marching Band during our high school days. The band's instrumentals were the highlight of that...

Warm, bright, cheerful, and one heckuva
trumpet musician. The world needs more
like Diane - !!!

Diane always brightened the room, just by walking in. She was a special soul, who gave of herself to everybody she met. I miss her.

Diane was a bright spot in my life. Always filled with joy and beaming a wonderful smile. She truly cared about others. I will miss her.
